Garbage Dumps Spread Across Habiganj Town as Khoai River Falls Victim to Pollution

Piles of garbage have spread across the town of Habiganj. Waste heaped up in different parts of the town is adding to the hardship of civic life, while the Khoai River, which flows past the town, has fallen victim to pollution.

According to the report, rubbish has accumulated in various areas of the town and turned into dumps. As the waste is not confined to designated places, its impact is being felt across the town's entire environment.

The most worrying aspect of the situation is the pollution of the Khoai River. The pressure of the town's waste is falling on the river, damaging its water and surroundings, the report says.

The Khoai River is closely tied to the lives of the people of Habiganj. With the river now polluted, the impact is not limited to the environment alone; there are fears it will also affect the daily lives of people who depend on the river.

Garbage dumps across the town and a polluted river together have raised fresh questions about public health and the environment in Habiganj. Residents of areas where waste has piled up are having to live amid stench and unhygienic conditions.

Weakness in waste management has emerged as the main reason behind this situation. If rubbish is not removed regularly, dumps in the town keep growing, and part of that waste eventually finds its way into the river water.

Habiganj is an important district town of Sylhet Division. This environmental crisis is therefore not just a local matter; it is also linked to the wider question of protecting rivers and towns across the division.

What remains to be seen is what steps the authorities concerned take to clear the town's garbage dumps and stop the pollution of the Khoai River. Local people hope that prompt and effective action will relieve both the town and the river from this pressure of pollution.
