The river Buriganga is used for river transportation, fishing and maintaining links with southern river ports of Bangladesh. Now the river has some problems of navigation from Babu Bazar, Mitford area to Munshiganj ghat as the water in between these two points has become polluted due to filthy water carried by WASA drains. So the vessels plying from Sadarghat to the southern districts are affected by the highly polluted water. Passengers who travel by launch, steamer, country boat, barge etc inhale the polluted air. So, immediate measures must be taken for stopping pollution of Buriganga water.
