Gulshan-Banani Lake
Very recently, a number of shanties /structures were built around the lake. Almost every day new ones are being built. People living in those structures right on the lake are using the lake as their defecating place. The sight is simply disgusting and from the environmental point of view horrifying. Seems there is total lack of governance. If Rajuk people are making money out of it, then what is the Department of Environment doing?
Recently, the prime minister of the country declared that no unauthorised occupation of public land would be allowed. The PM also declared the govt's firm stand on protecting wetlands, lakes and rivers. I am drawing the attention of Rajuk for immediate corrective measures.
I am encouraged to write to you as your daily has recently done a few features entitled “HELLO MAYOR” Can you do a feature on the subject?
