Rally for rivers
Shady realtors choke Turag
There is also Didar's project adjacent to Tamanna Family World amusement park.
Caught in the act
Everything is clearly visible on the other bank as the once mighty Turag, popularly knows as Kohor Daria [big river], has been reduced to hardly 50 feet in width here.
Grabbing easy, freeing tough
A lush green lawn and a well-planned pond increase the beauty of the building, which in fact choked the river here.
River-filling easier now
The sand and soil carrying cargo boats, locally known as 'bolget', are the main transports operating on these river routes.
Turag inherited!
Hazrat Mukhter was born and brought up in Kamarpara village by the now-reduced Turag. He has many memories about the river.
Time for 'river view' university
Amid encroachment by housing estates, private universities and refuelling stations, the tiny Turag, the major flood flow system of the capital from north to south, is being choked and reduced every day.
Plots in Turag up for sale
The grabber has raised the plinth about 10 feet above the water level which easily draws attention.
Let's rally together
Lend your hands and together we can win a war against these powerful, rich and ruthless river-gobblers.
Turag almost grabbed
Although the AL pledged before the national elections to bring "changes in political culture and prevailing ill practices", no change is apparent in the culture of river grabbing.
