WHERE’S THE CANAL? … Believe it or not, this is a part of the DND Canal that flows from Jatrabari to Kanchpur. Over the past decade, illegal structures and bamboo and timber trades, among others, have eaten up long stretches of the waterbody. Various initiatives by the Water Development Board to stop the encroachments have fallen flat. The photo was taken in Narayanganj’s Signboard area a few days ago.
