The Department of Environment (DoE) in Chattogram stopped illegal hill cutting in the Chandranagar Green Valley-2 residential area under Bayezid Bostami Police Station during the Eid holidays. An enforcement team from the DoE’s Chattogram Metropolitan Office conducted an operation on Wednesday morning, immediately halting the activity and issuing a hearing notice to landowner Babul Banik, who was allegedly involved in the incident.
According to DoE sources, the group had been using the holiday period to cut hills in the area. Local residents informed the enforcement team that the base of the hill had already been removed, posing environmental risks. Upon verification, the team confirmed the illegal activity and imposed an immediate ban on further cutting.
Assistant Director Muktadir Hasan of the DoE stated that the group had completed preparations for hill cutting, including hiring workers and bringing equipment. He added that two previous cases had already been filed in court against 35 individuals for similar offenses in the same hill area, with one charge sheet submitted and another under process.
