Is river commission incompetent in saving Buringanga?

Buriganga, the river that cradled Dhaka for over 400 years, has now become one of the most polluted rivers - and despite many efforts and judiciary rulings, nearly 100 acres along the two banks of Buriganga river remain filled up.

Debjani Shyama and The Daily Star Chief Reporter Pinaki Roy discuss the encroachment of Buriganga river and the ineffectiveness of NRCC in saving it.
