The Government of Bangladesh has already bought 38 dredgers and now they are starting a process to buy more than 42, United News of Bangladesh reports.
This action is being conducted under the Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority’s (BIWTA) plan to save the rivers by reducing and protecting the sediment deposition, said the State Minister for Shipping, Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury.
Khalid unveiled this information during the seminar “Challenges of ensuring navigability of Bangladesh’s rivers and sediment management” at the Jatiya Press Club earlier this week.
