'Free rivers from land grabbers, pollution'
Green Voice Environmental Technology Engineering, Dhaka Polytechnic Institute unit launched a weeklong signature campaign at the institute yesterday to press home their demands for making the rivers free from encroachment and pollution.
A total of 400 students and teachers of different departments at the institute participated in the campaign.
Leaders of Green Voice said over the last few decades, rivers are being destroyed gradually due to corruption and lack of government initiatives and coordination.
The organisers also observed that environment and public health in the capital would be at risk if the current trend of river destruction continues.
