Gulshan Lake
I have seen around 20 feet of fresh land filling on the Badda side of Gulshan Lake. I am also watching the construction of apartment blocks on illegally filled land. In five years, I have occasionally seen camera crews and Rajuk employees creating a big fuss on the Gulshan side of the lake, but never on the other side. They have also created a pavement to stop encroachment, but only on one side of the lake. What is the point of this? Do they not realise that the other side has encroached so much that we are now nose to nose? Soon, there will be no lake left, it desperately needs to be reclaimed and the land fillers given exemplary punishment. I have lost all respect for the work of the joint forces, it seems they were only enforcing the law for cheap publicity and are not at all interested in preserving our city. When will the authorities do something about this? When will the newspapers pay real attention to this?
