Paribesh Bachao Andolan (PBA) yesterday urged the government to form a high-powered commission to save rivers from encroachment and pollution and to increase navigability across the country.
The demand rose at a PBA sit-in programme in front of Krishi Bank Bhaban in Motijheel. They also formed a human chain as a part of the programme.
