Plight of Dhaka’s canals: How agencies failed to protect our waterways

A 2005 photo of Rupnagar Canal in Mirpur shows the canal starting just after a white building on the left. In contrast, a recent photo from 2024 shows that the area beyond the building is now crowded with brick and tin-shed houses. Over the past 19 years, about 70% of the canal has been filled and encroached upon by various structures. Photo: Syed Zakir Hossain
