Save the DND project area
Go after the canal encroachersThe objectives for which the Dhaka-Narayanganj-Demra dam project was taken upin the 1960s have been, to a large extent, nullified by the indiscriminate urbanisation of the project area and fish farming by damming the canals. The picture carried in this newspaper yesterday, depicting how a part of the canal has been dammed for the purpose of fishing, says all about the management of the project. The canal network is the lifeline of the people living inside the DND area.
This paper has been constantly highlighting the plight of water bodies in the country and particularly the rivers that serve the major cities of the country, but the authorities seem to be quite unconcerned over the issue. DND project is a case in point where lack of a long term plan to address the problems has put the nearly two million residents of the area in constant hardship, particularly in the rainy season when the situation is compounded by hindered runoff of rainwater due to blocked canals. Reportedly Matuail, Dakkhinpara, Muslimnagar, Mogolpara and Medical Road are areas in particular, where several hundred fishing farms have mushroomed. Also canals have been filled up to set up gas and petrol filling stations in the area. This is all the more galling since the government conducts anti-encroachment drives from time to time, only for the canal to be refilled and reoccupied.
We reiterate the call of the experts to immediately form a task force to take a coordinated effort to resolve what has become a deep rooted problem. Apart from the technical issue there ought to be arrangements for constant supervision of the area to prevent encroachment.
