As a green and a playground of beauties, Bangladesh was once every coveted place for the tourists. They used to come here and be charmed by its colourful landscapes which was like a dream to them. Numerous rivers, canals, marshy lands, boundless green fields and birds of different kinds are symbols of beauty as well as Nature's way of balancing the environment. But irresponsible decisions of some ambitious people are destroying its beauty and environment. In the name of development they are constructing multi-storied buildings, markets and factories by earth-filling rivers, canals and ponds. Many such projects in the Capital, and indeed all over Bangladesh, are going on without impediment. Due to this the country is loosing croplands; as a result our food production is also decreasing by the day. Loss of wetland is also causing unemployment to the fishermen. Such harmful projects must be stopped forthwith, and the government should take immediate steps in this regard.
