Provide trash cans on launch-steamers
Around 40-50 thousand passengers travel to and from Dhaka on a regular basis using river routes, with the number increasing to three to four million during Eid holidays. Most of them use the Buriganga and Sadarghat routes. These passengers, travelling by launch-steamers, have developed a habit of littering the river with water bottles, and other forms of waste.
I would therefore like to request the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authorities (BIWTA) to provide enough trash cans on launch-steamers in order to prevent further pollution of our rivers.
