Encroachment on water bodies

S. Choudhury, Dhaka
I am reading all these articles on encroachment on water bodies along with pathetic excuses from government bodies, but will any real action be taken? I was surprised and pleased to see the CTG take on some high ups and free a lot of land in Gulshan, so it isn't just a pipe dream, anything is possible. Apart from our rivers, our lakes are still being encroached upon. On one side of Gulshan Lake, they are extending the boundary pavement as I write this and yet on the Badda side of the lake they are encroaching another few feet every few months! Do the lawmakers not see that the lake has another side other than Gulshan? Or are they turning a blind eye because they have a vested interest? This should be investigated by whoever is responsible for Rajuk and DCC activities.
