Saltwater is invading the Halda River in Chattogram, which is forcing Chattogram Water and Sewerage Authority (CWasa) to keep two treatment plants closed for a certain period everyday. This environmental issue has caused a drinking water shortage, and residents in the southern part of the city are being provided with pure drinking water through rationing.
City dwellers of some areas are not getting the water supply they need as Chattogram Water and Sewerage Authority is in difficulty purifying river water.
