Restaurants at Cox's Bazar
We, the Cox's Bazar beach lovers, are shocked to learn that the Directorate of Environment has issued letters to three renowned beach restaurants--Angel Drop, Sweety's Finger and Tropicana alleging that they are polluting the environment and asked them to remove the structures.
These three restaurants have not only beautified the place but are also a source of inspiration and relaxation for the beach goers. A good number of people both from within the country and abroad visit Cox's Bazar to see the wooden structures which give the opportunity to observe the scenic beauty of the sea from the deck of these restaurants.
Angel Drop is the oldest among them and it is in the book of "Lonely Planet" international tourist guide publication. These restaurants are very popular among the foreign as well as local tourists. These have private individual ownership with valid licences. The government is also getting revenue from them.
We really fail to understand how these restaurants are polluting the environment.
I would request the beach lovers to raise their voice and lend their support to these three restaurants by requesting the Directorate of Environment to withdraw their letters.
