Baraigram (Natore) Correspondent

dviser to the Ministry of Water Resources, Environment, Forests and Climate Change Syeda Rezwana Hasan said, we want to save all the rivers of the country,
including the Baral in Natore. In the past 53 years, the life of the river has been destroyed due to encroachment and pollution.

Infrastructure has been built on the
river without assessing the environmental impact. This cannot be solved by the government of one and a half years. The government has taken initiatives to keep
all the rivers including the Baral flowing. We want to conduct some plan implementation activities, formulate a long-term plan outline. She said these things
while inspecting the Atghoria Sluice Gate and the adjacent rivers in Baraigram Upazila of Natore on Monday.
Bangladesh Water Development Board North-Western Region Chief Engineer Makhlesur Rahman, Natore Deputy Commissioner (DC) Asma Shaheen, Police Superintendent Md Amjad Hossain, Baraigram Upazila Nirbahi Officer Laila Jannatul Ferdous, Assistant Commissioner (Land) Ashraful Islam, Joari UP
Chairman Ali Akbar and Member Secretary of the Baral Protection Andolon SM Mizanur Rahman were present there.
The adviser also said that the government wants to ensure that we do not cause any further damage to the river in our territory. The reality of the rivers is that there is no water in the river , no navigability. The rivers flowing in our territory have been reduced by damming the upstream. We have no control over many things
upstream. We want to remove the infrastructure on the river and do excavation work. The river boundary will be determined according to the SA Khatian.
The adviser also said that the Water Development Board will talk to everyone and start work very quickly. A plan has to be formulated to bring the life of Baral back
to life. Our first plan is to remove the sluice gate of Charghat and implement the excavation work. In addition, we would like to approve the outline of another plan.
