Committed to PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO KNOW Vol. 5 Num 1103 Sun. July 08, 2007       Star City Grabbers Eye Haikkar Khal Again As the flood water turned the low lying area on the western side of the martyred intellectual memorial into a vast stretch of watery plain, some local developer grabbed the opportunity to fill up the Hikkar Khal, a natural canal that winds its way from Mohammadpur and joins the Buriganga in the north. Apparently the earth filling work on the water-body would elude the most trained eyes as the offender uses a dredger to pump out the sand from a vessel in liquid form and releases it into the canal. The result would not be visible until the dry season arrives. PHOTO: STAR
