Fishy lake!
Sorry to break Dr Richard Murphy's (Re: Good News! 3.1.2005) heart, but I believe there is fish in the Gulshan-Baridhara Lake. I read the article in Star City too, but contrary to experts' claim, I saw fish in that water. Well, I won't say that my claim is up-to-date, but there was fish in that lake last October. And I believe I'd have noticed if they all died in the last three months.
However, Dr. Murphy should rest assured that most of the fish available in Dhaka's markets are caught from the rivers. So, they're not from as stingy water as you might suspect. So, enjoy the fish!
