A suggestion
We applaud the prime minister's declaration during her World Environment Day (WED) celebration speech to take long-term appropriate measures to restore, revive and recover the rivers and wetlands from illegal grabbers, polluters, etc for the sake of biodiversity conservation, aquatic ecosystem maintenance, flood control, and of course the livelihood of the people. We also applaud her for announcing the Environment Medal in favour of The Daily Star for publicizing river grabbing and pollution.
However, it would have been apposite if some other organisation like "Paribesh Bachao Andolon" would have also been honoured as they have been raising these environmental issues and making them a public voice.
