Lake recovery?

The front page photograph and Ali's article alongside, published on March 3, tells the tale of Gulshan Lake. Sad for many, but glad for many too! The facts are all there, but facts unfortunately get trampled under the acts perpetrated with the blessings of the powers that be. While you talk about recovering the lake, they are busy recovering the land from the lake! This recovery is most attractive for them where money matters! For them, the lake is a waste of potential land, waiting to be recovered, the land that brings gold as land values rocket up. Why leave it to the fishes, when wealth beckons! For them, "The more they get, the more they want". All said and done, that is the reality in this ugly lust for the lucre! Who are you and we to stand in their way? Court directives are irrelevant for them. As far as they are concerned, these are but words on paper. Between the words, and the realities on the ground, these are far apart and they believe that no court can bridge this gap! For them, DLRS and Rajuk are poor players with only some pawns on the chessboard, while they hold the Rooks, Knights, Bishops and the Queen! One move and the pawns are gone, for they have no rook, knight, bishop or queen in support. Pity the solitary pawns! Should any one meddle too much, they will give him/her a piece of the lake, all filled up and a legitimate owner to boot! That, ladies and gentlemen, is the name of the game! Take it, or leave it!
