The environment department has summoned the managing director of Premier
Cement for it's illegal possession of a part of Shitalakkha river-bank
in Narayanganj and Munshiganj districts.
Premier Cement managing director Amirul Haque has been ordered to appear before the DoE headquarters in Dhaka on Apr 23 to explain why the company should not be fined for harming the environment and why a case should not be filed against it.
He was also directed to explain why the illegally grabbed land alongside the river should not be rescued and the goods of the company there should not be seized.
A director of the environment department Mohammad Munir Chowdhury said in a statement on Saturday that the company had grabbed lands ignoring the pillars set up by Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA).
The statement said the company's illegal possession had reduced the depth of the Shitalakkhya river and was causing harm to fish and other aquatic life.
