Chattogram city has thousands of years of political and cultural heritage. But there are essentially no measures in place to preserve heritage. One by one, civic facilities, cultural activities, centuries-old trees, open spaces, and parks are all targeted by money-laundering syndicates in the name of development.
Deaths in Chattogram Drains: Since 2017, at least eight lives have been claimed by Chattogram's unprotected drains. Many have remained missing after falling into these drains…never to be found again.
Defying its own policy, Chattogram Development Authority (CDA) has decided to fell 46 trees, including two century-old rain trees, from the CRB area in the port city to construct a ramp of the Chattogram Elevated Expressway.
