Wasting assets
Over population is the main problem which includes Bangladesh in the category-- “third world”. Still it is blessed with many treasures and one of them is aquatic being. Fish can improve the country's economic condition as it can be easily exported to other countries. But already many kinds of fish have become extinct due to human activities. Rivers are mostly polluted by industrial effluents. As a result, many aquatic beings are affected by detoxification and finally become extinct. Laws are already there to save different species of fish but none are followed.
I request the owners of factories and industries to stop this practice and dump effluents elsewhere. The government must act before it is too late.
