The Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) has taken a project to install water treatment plant (Jashaldia) to supply drinking water from Padma River for four million residents of Dhaka.

State Minister for Shipping Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury on Wednesday said treatment plants will be installed at the threshold of drainages to check water pollution of Buriganga River.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday opened a number of development projects including two water treatment plants – Sheikh Russell Water Treatment Plant in Chattogram and Bangabandhu Water Treatment Plant in Khulna.
