Eventually after
many administrative formalities, the Patrol
Boat of Buriganga Riverkeeper is going get the
permission for anchoring and patrolling in the
river Buriganga.
In
this process, Buriganga Riverkeeper along with
other community leaders met the Port Officer,
Sadarghat Landing Port, BIWTA Mr. Mohammad Ali
and visited probable sites for anchoring.
During the meeting the activity of Buriganga
Riverkeeper was also discussed.
At the same day Buriganga
Riverkeeper visited the dockyard where the
Patrol Boat is ready to be
launched.
After
getting the formal letter from BIWTA, we will
run the boat for testing immediately. Upon
successful testing, we hope to fix the date of
Launching within the first week of October
2011.
Buriganga
Riverkeeper, Bangladesh Poribesh Andolon (BAPA)
and Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority
(BIWTA) will jointly organize the Patrol Boat
Launching event.
We
expect large number of people, professionals,
civil society representatives, academicians and
policymakers to be present in the event. The
event will be held at the Main Lobby of
Sadarghat Launch terminal,
Dhaka.
