Environmental damage from unplanned development, encroachment must stop

Why has the Forest Department allowed it?

For years, under the nose of the Forest Department and the local administration, a syndicate led by a local union parishad chairman has been razing hillocks and tearing down trees at Chunati Wildlife Sanctuary in Chattogram’s Lohagara upazila.

The High Court orders authorities to take action within a week against those responsible for encroaching Gulshan Lake in Dhaka.
