Jumbangla Desk: Syeda Rizwana Hasan, adviser to the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and Water Resources, said, 'Hilsa is being exported to India, not as a gift. Exports earn dollars. You know how much we need dollars at the moment. That is not money to be taken lightly. Besides, those who are asking for hilsa from the other side also gave a lot of support during the anti-discrimination student movement. We all saw that.'

He said these things to reporters after inspecting the broken Muchapur regulator of Chhota Feni river in Companyganj upazila of Noakhali on Monday (September 23) morning.

Meanwhile, Syeda Rizwana Hasan came to the field to see the problems through people's glasses and not through the government's glasses. Sayeda Rizwana Hasan said that the reason for coming to the field is to see the problems through people's glasses and not through the government's glasses. But if people and the government are different entities, there will be no change. People and government should come together and agree to solve the problem.

He said, it is not possible to prevent the erosion of this region without restoring the broken regulator. But it is time consuming and expensive. But at the moment, urgent measures are being taken to temporarily stop the erosion and salt water from entering the locality. In that case, some measures will be taken immediately after taking the opinion of engineering department and locals.

Commenting that the amount of water that has flowed through this regulator this year, it is initially assumed that the regulator has broken due to excess of its capacity, the advisor said, but still an investigation has been ordered as to why the regulator broke in the upstream water in such a short period of time.

Later, he visited the affected areas and consoled the victims and assured them of their rehabilitation. Later at 1 pm, he was present as the chief guest in the public hearing about the severe flooding and broken regulator in the Noakhali District Commissioner's office.
