Illegal encroachment and filling of Titas and Buri rivers in Nabinagar despite court order

Illegal land grabbing through dredging and sand filling by an influential individual has narrowed the Titas and Buri rivers in Nabinagar, Brahmanbaria, defying a 2019 High Court directive. The local administration conducted a mobile court on September 6, 2026, fining the encroacher BDT 2 lakh and ordering the removal of the fill material within 15 days.
