Pollution goes unabated
There are so many industries in Gazipur, only a few of them have installed Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP). The factories are discharging untreated chemicals into water bodies which are destroying fish and other aquatic lives.And fertile agricultural land is becoming infertile.

The Department of Environment (DoE) is taking actions against a very few culprits.Pity!
