Bangladesh – River Buriganga ‘The Life of Dhaka’ Turned Toxic
Buriganga River was once called the life of Dhaka, where people used to gather on the river banks during the afternoons and evenings of everyday, aquatic life was prospering and Hilsa fish was the river gift to the people of the city, but now it’s all just history. These days the river is called the dying river, since an excessive pollution is hitting the river and is threatening biodiversity and public health.
