Moulvibazar Municipality has set up a garbage dump on an acre of land in Moulvibazar's Barshijora Ecopark. As a result, forests and wildlife are under threat.
It is learned that the municipality has been dumping tonnes of garbage every day since the 4th of this month. The municipal authorities even did not accept the written objection of the forest department. Not only the garbage dump but also roads are being built there by cutting the soil along with the surrounding high ground so that the garbage trucks can go to certain places inside the forest.
The Department of Wildlife and Nature Conservation has already objected to the dumping, first verbally and then in writing.
