Anti-pollution drives to be conducted at Kaptai Lake: Rangamati DC

Rangamati Deputy Commissioner (DC) Mohammad Mizanur Rahman has said that the district administration will conduct drives from now on to prevent pollution of Kaptai Lake.

The DC said this while attending a discussion arranged by the Rangamati district administration commemorating World Rivers Day on Sunday.

During the discussion, the DC requested everyone to provide information about any type of pollution in the Kaptai Lake area.

“Kaptai Lake is narrowing due to unplanned housing surrounding the water body. Some unscrupulous people are gradually encroaching and polluting the lake. If we can’t stop this practice, bad days are waiting for us. That’s why we all need to come together to save the lake before it’s too late,” Mizanur said.

The event was presided over by SM Ferdous Islam, additional deputy commissioner (Revenue) of Rangamati. AL Mamun Mia, additional district magistrate, Sreebas Chandra Das, district fisheries officer and Nurul Absar, district scout commissioner, among others, were present at the program.
