The Hairjheel-Begunbari canal restoration is a 'massive ventilator', spreading over 302 acres, for the rescueing the city from pollution and traffic jams and death of its water bodies by land filling and occupation by the ever-increasing city dwellers. Hoping that its citizens will keep the open lake areas pollution free by maintaing a clean-green environment for their own breathing purpose and healthy living. The continual haphazard construction and growth of 'concrete conglomerates' without preservation of the waterways or greenery over the last few years had transformed the beautiful riverine capital on the bank of river Buriganga into a city of bricks-concrete-traffic-and human jams. Now, its people will wake up and breathe fresh air from the serene blue waters of the several lakes and jheels-khals and ponds that have been dredged, made pollution free and restored. Thanks to the consorted efforts of the special units of the Armed Forces, the capital development authorities (RAJUK), the Water and Sewerage Authorities, Engineering University and other respected organizations of the governing body. This multipurpose waterbody will not only connect both east-west, north and southern parts of the city by bridges and expressways, two-way service roads but also make the city clean, fresh, lessen pollution and the traffic jams and finally protect the capital from water-logging or massive flooding from the monsoon rains.
