Health Desk- 23 Jan,
2020: The High Court on Wednesday observed that time has come to declare
Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka as an ecologically critical area due to widespread
pollution, reports UNB.
A HC bench of Justice Gobinda Chandra Tagore and Justice
Mohammad Ullah made the observation while hearing a contempt of court rule
against the Dhaka Wasa managing director for providing false information over
the pollution of the Buriganga River and the legality of the operation of mills
and factories without ETPs.
Advocate Siddiqur Rahman argued for Industries Owners’
Association of Shyampur while Amatul Karim represented the Department of
Environment (DoE) and Advocate Manzill Murshid stood for the petitioner.
Meanwhile, the Wasa managing director offered an
unconditional apology to the court for falsely claiming in an affidavit on June
