Bangladesh : Gazipur textile mill fined Tk 7.15mn by DoE

A textile mill in Gazipur has been fined Tk 7.15 million by Bangladesh’s Department of Environment (DoE) for releasing untreated liquid waste in the Turag River and a nearby water body.

A DoE press release said the mill was operating without proper environmental clearance since 2006 and it ignored repeated notices for using its effluent treatment plant (ETP).
