The Daily Star will hold a roundtable styled 'Challenges of development: Hill cutting and landslide' in Chittagong today in an effort to bring the issue into media focus.
The roundtable will begin at 10:00am at the conference room of Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB), Chittagong Centre.
This is the second of a series of roundtables The Daily Star is organising in Chittagong to highlight the development issues and find out ways to address the problems.
In the absence of proper management of hills, landslides in Chittagong have killed about 200 people in the last ten years.
