Unfortunate Buriganga
Buriganga has already been made the waste disposal site of Dhaka. All the waste materials of the nearby areas are thrown into the river. The width of the river is decreasing day by day and the river has turned into a small canal. The land grabbers have taken possession of the river. A number of bamboo huts are being made every day on the river.
The High Court has already declared these structures built on the river illegal. But the authorities seem to be inactive in demolishing them. The river is losing its glory day by day. If these illegal activities continue, the river will no longer exist in the future.
