Resorts being built around Sundarbans one after another

Resorts are mushrooming around the ecologically critical Sundarbans area, defying environmental regulations. Currently, 14 resorts have been established, with 8 more under construction in Khulna and Satkhira. These resorts involve land filling, tree felling, and operation of polluting generators and ACs, posing threats to the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Despite prohibitions, the resort boom continues unabated, causing water, sound, and soil pollution while driving away wildlife from the mangrove forests. Prothom Alo
