City fathers sit on Tk 1cr fund as environmental disaster looms
The Sylhet city Corporation (SCC) could not make any progress in recovering the grabbed natural streams in the city though six months have already passed after allocation of Tk one crore by the LGRD ministry for the purpose. As monsoon approaches, the city dwellers brace for sufferings from severe water-logging as most of the outlets are clogged by encroachers. SCC Chief Executive Officer Kazi Abdul Nur however told The Daily Star yesterday that they have started clearing the streams and drains. But this will help a little to drain out rain water.
