Director General of the Department of Environment Dr. Abdul Hamid said that there will be no concessions regarding cutting mountains and filling water reservoirs. Zero tolerance has been declared for this by our ministry. We are working on the pollution of the country's rivers. The Department of Environment has already taken several steps to keep the rivers free from pollution.

He also said, 'St. Martini will limit tourists and work will be done to protect the environment as well as improve the quality of life of the people there. Work will be started very soon to make Cox's Bazar city plastic free.'

At this time, he requested everyone's cooperation to keep the sea plastic-free.
