Battling against the current: The river governance puzzle we must solve
Multiple ministries, overlapping mandates, and the exclusion of key stakeholders make streamlining water governance a challenge.
‘NRCC has been kept weak on purpose’
Rivers around cities and industrial zones are extremely polluted.
Rivers cannot be saved without honest efforts
Government offices must overcome their inadequacies to play a bigger role
Shall we just bow to illegal sand lifters?
Government must take stern action against those lifting sand from Jamuna, Meghna
Save Bakkhali River from encroachment
How are grabbers getting away with frequent onslaughts on its banks?
Save Someshwari from being hollowed out
Political affiliation must no longer shield the river violators
Don’t punish bold public officials
Sacking of river commission chief sends the wrong message
