Rajdhani Unnayan Kartripakkha (Rajuk) has taken an initiative to develop a proper sewerage system with a view to curbing pollution of Banani-Gulshan and Gulshan-Baridhara lakes.

The decision was taken yesterday at a meeting attended by LGRD Adviser Anwarul Iqbal and Public Works Adviser Maj Gen (retd) Ghulam Quader.

The meeting decided to incorporate the Gulshan-Banani lake into the Hatirjheel project. The proposed system will carry wastes from Gulshan and Banani lakes to the sewerage system of Hatirjheel project, reducing pollution of the water bodies.
