In an effort to prevent water pollution and to free the river banks from encroachment, the government has taken up a master plan to prevent water pollution of six rivers in Dhaka and its adjacent areas, said Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives Minister Md Tazul Islam.
“We must take coordinated efforts to prevent pollution of resources like water and air,” he said while speaking at a programme on “Master plan on Meghna River” at a hotel in the city on Sunday.
He also urged the development partners to play a more active role in overcoming the damage caused by climate change.
Tazul also urged all to be more cautious to protect the resources like water from pollution.
