Dhaka is surrounded by 4 rivers- Buringanga, Turag, Balu and Shitalakkha, which have contributed significantly to the economic development and maintenance of the ecological balance of greater Dhaka. They have all reduced drastically due to illegal encroachment, earth filling and temporary and permanent structural interventions.
The High Court directed the respondents to survey the rivers’ area, and declare these 4 rivers as Ecological Critical Area, put up boundary pillars, build walkway and plant trees. The Court also directed the respondents to evacuate all structures, originate a ‘জাতীয়নদীরক্ষাকমিশন’.
