The Buriganga is a major river in Bangladesh, flowing through the capital city, Dhaka. It is approximately 25 kilometers long and serves as an important waterway for transportation and trade. The river is fed by several smaller streams and is known for its historical significance and cultural importance to the region. Historically, the Buriganga has been vital for the economy of Dhaka, facilitating the movement of goods and people. However, it faces environmental challenges, including pollution and encroachment, which threaten its ecosystem and the livelihoods of those who depend on it. Efforts are being made to restore and protect this crucial waterway.
