Stop filling up the wetlands

Recently the government has decided to set up stone crushing machines in four wetlands--Dibi Haor, Kendri Beel, Harafkata Beel and Yambeel at Jaintapur upazila in Sylhet. People living in these areas have already been facing severe water crisis. Filling up the water bodies will make the crisis worse, not to mention the adverse effects it will have on the local environment and biodiversity. The government should reconsider its decision.
