Bangladesh Nodi Bachao Andolon has submitted a 17-point demand to the deputy commissioners of all 64 districts across the country to save rivers from grabbers.
The platform for conserving rivers also formed a human chain in front of the Jatiya Press Club on Sunday on the occasion of International River Day.
Noted Columnist Syed Abul Maksud said the country’s women and its rivers are the most vulnerable in Bangladesh and said those who are responsible for encroaching rivers need to be punished.
