Eviction of illegal structures
This is to thank the HC bench for its order to evict the illegal shanties and other establishments from Cox's Bazar sea beach and also the authorities concerned for leading the drive in this regard. True, it is a good news for the whole country that the world's longest sea beach and one of the most popular resorts has finally been freed from the clutches of the unscrupulous land-grabbers, especially on the eve of an international event, i.e. World Cup Cricket 2011, when greater number of visitors are expected to throng this idyllic beach. But it has always been seen that during most of such drives against illegal structures, some structures are spared because of the occupants' political identity.
I hope to see a better picture this time. Every single illegal structure should be annihilated to save this national heritage. At the same time, I would like to draw the authorities' attention to Patenga sea beach which is also wriggling under the clutches of land-grabbers.
