No one has right to grab canals, rivers

Canals and rivers are national assets and no one has the right to grab and pollute those, said Environmental, Forest and Climate Change, and Water Resources Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan yesterday.
She said a canal cleaning campaign is being implemented in all 64 districts as part of the ongoing effort to make the country’s waterways free from pollution.
“Although the campaign will officially run till November 15, efforts to keep these waterways clean will continue. There will have a local committee for each canal to prevent pollution,” she added.
Rizwana was speaking as the chief guest at the national launch of the canal cleaning drive across 64 districts, held at Tri-Mohini Eidgah ground at Rampura, Dhaka.
Youth and Sports Adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain officially inaugurated the canal cleaning campaign at Rampura-Zirani canal, marking the National Youth Day 2024.
Rizwana urged the volunteers and the youth to take on the national responsibility of keeping the canals free from pollution.
She said presenting the future generations with pollution-free canals and rivers will be one of the major successes of the Youth Day.
