Politically influential locals involved in sand trading have occupied parts of the Buriganga and the adjoining road leading from Gabtoli to Adabor. They did not even spare the land reserved for the Water Development Board. Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority, under whose jurisdiction the riverbanks fall, tried many times to put an end to such encroachment but to no avail. PHOTO: RASHED SHUMON
