Residents of Rajshahi protested against the illegal occupation of property and the eviction of shops, houses and mosques for the construction of surface water treatment plant in Rajshahi Wasa for the supply of pure water to Godagari in Rajshahi.
Godagari Upazila Sadar Golchattar organized by Citizen Interest-Protection Committee Godagari yesterday.

In the protest rally, the speakers said, "The construction of above ground water treatment plant in Rajshahi Wasa, if there is any damage to people's lives or property, there is a demand to be disclosed to the public." The affected people should be compensated through investigation through various departments of the government, including the chief advisor of the interim government. And if any kind of provocation is done, then the common people will go to a larger movement. Note that the cost of the project undertaken by Rajshahi WASA has been estimated at Tk 4,622,220,000. The implementation time of the project is four years.
