The High Court has given another two weeks to submit a report on the illegal occupants by surveying the boundaries of the southern and eastern sides of the Karnaphuli River in Chattogram. On Sunday, the High Court bench of Justice JBM Hasan and Justice Aziz Ahmed Bhuiyan gave this order to the Chattogram district administration.
Earlier, in a public interest litigation filed by Human Rights and Peace for Bangladesh (HRPB) to protect the Karnaphuli River, a rule was issued on November 14, 2023, directing the submission of a list of illegal encroachers and a survey report within three months. As the report was not submitted within the stipulated time and river pollution and encroachment continued, the court set this new deadline following an application by HRPB.
