|January 14, 2024
As many as 75 united under the banner of organisations Jalangi Nadi Samaj gathered on Friday in Krishnagar to stage a symbolic hunger strike, urging the administration to take immediate action to save the rivers in Nadia from an impending environmental catastrophe.
-
The rivers in question, including Jalangi, Anjana, Churni, Mathabhanga and Ichamati, are in dire state due to various anthropogenic pressures such as indiscriminate waste dumping, riverbed encroachment for irrigation, bridge construction and the decomposition of jute in their waters.
The concerned citizens took to the streets to raise awareness about the critical condition of these lifelines.
