Bangladesh Environmental Lawyers Association (BELA) has issued a legal notice to the Cox's Bazar Development Authority (CoxDA) and eight other authorities concerned to stop cutting hills and filling water bodies
The Cox's Bazar Run 2023 was organised with the objective of increasing running's popularity and bringing attention to Cox's Bazar, a popular tourist destination.
At least eight new resorts have been built illegally, while eight other existing ones have extended their structures in St Martin’s Island between April and September without approval.
Months after an eviction drive that demolished over 200 structures illegally built along the bank of Bakkhali river in Cox’s Bazar town, the area has been grabbed yet again.
