A great job
Our heartiest thanks to The Daily Star, we laud its concern for our dying rivers, which if not revived will choke our cities. The picture revealed is horrifying, ten feet layer of discarded polythene bags and other waste materials are covering the bed of river Buriganga. Untreated wastes from industries are pouring into the rivers, making them severely polluted, creating a most serious situation.
If remedial steps are not taken immediately, a catastrophic situation will arise. The people should be united to protest and compel the government to take urgent action. The government must give top priority to this problem. Otherwise, we will be in great peril.
In 1971, we fought to liberate our country, now we will have to fight to save out country from pollution of all sorts. If nothing is done for the dying rivers, the day is not far away when children will learn that once there were rivers in Bangladesh.
