Originating from the Saithah village of Mamit district in Mizoram, India, it flows 270 kilometres (170 mi) southwest through Chattogram Hill Tracts and Chattogram into the Bay of Bengal. Before the Padma, it was the fastest flowing river in Bangladesh. It is said to "represent the drainage system of the whole south-western part of Mizoram.Principal tributaries include the Kawrpui River or Thega River, Tuichawng River and Phairuang River. A large hydroelectric power plant using Karnaphuli river was built in the Kaptai region during the 1960s.

The second-largest city, Chittagong, has the biggest wholesale market for marine and freshwater fish. This place is known as Chattagram Fishery Ghat, which was established 200 years ago. It was founded by the Portuguese. They created this market when business was needed in Chattagram, and they got the right to collect port duty. The traditional Chattagram Fishery Ghat has two locations. The location of the Fishery Ghat on Iqbal Road in Patharghata has been changed to a newer and larger scale Fishery Ghat at Lusai Kanya at the mouth of Rajakhali on the banks of the Karnafuli River. Depending on the season, different types of fish are traded every night from 3 pm to 8 am. In this market, the fish comes from every district, which is later transported to other corners of the country. And that is why the Chattagram Fishery Ghat is full of fish merchants. The fish worth millions are traded.
The Chattagram fishery Ghat is the workplace for many fishmongers, porters, tea-sellers, Betal leaf sellers and shopping bag sellers. In addition, several people work every day at this Ghat to repair nets. This fishery ghat is their livelihood. There is cold storage developed around this market where fish is stored. There are also several restaurants on the Ghat. Around half a million peoples livelihood is connected to this fish market. About 10000 fishing boats and hundreds of trawlers of Chattgaram filled with fish is sold in this market.

In the bustling corners of Chattogram, mountains of discarded plastic bottles rise like modern-day towers. Every day, workers sift through nearly a ton of waste, cleaning and shredding the plastic before transforming it into granules. These small, shiny pellets don’t stay small for long—they are reborn as durable containers, furniture, and everyday products, weaving discarded waste back into the fabric of daily life. Amid the clatter of machines and the rhythm of labor, the city quietly battles the plastic tide, one recycled bottle at a time.

Biju is one of the major festivals of the Chakma tribal community. This festival is celebrated on the last two days of the Bengali year and on New Year's Day.
In Khagrachhari, the Chakma community began their merriment by setting flowers adrift on the Chengi river and other water bodies in the area. The children bathed in the river and visited the elderly for blessings.
Fulbiju is more than just a festival. It is a deep reverence for the cultural heritage of the tribal community, a testament to the importance of preserving traditions and passing them on to future generations. It is a celebration of life, of hope, of the promise of new beginnings. As the tribal people bid farewell to the old and welcome the new with open hearts, they are filled with a sense of possibility, knowing that the year ahead will be one of beauty, abundance, and grace.
Fhul Biju is celebrated on April 12. On this day, before dawn, children go out to collect flowers. One part of the collected flowers is worshiped to the Buddha and the other part is floated in water. Houses are decorated with the rest of the flowers. Mul biju is celebrated on the last day of Chaitra month i.e. 13th April. On this day, the Buddha statue is bathed and worshiped in the morning. Children bathe and bless their elderly grandparents and great-grandparents. Many types of delicacies are cooked on this day including birani semai pajan (a type of curry made from a mixture of different vegetables) at home. Friends and relatives visit from house to house and are entertained with these dishes. Wandering all day and night. The first day of the Bengali New Year i.e. 14th April is observed as Gajya Pajya Din (Falling Day). Even on this day Biju is in a mood.

Dismantling of 'Crystal Gold' ship begins after over 4 yrs
The 192-metre ship, Crystal Gold, ran aground at the popular beach in Anwara Upazila in 2017, when cyclone Mora hit the region. Since then, it hasn't moved an inch, and has now become a threat to the area's ecosystem, said environmentalists.
Legal complications have stalled moving the vessel to a ship breaking yard in Sitakunda, according to the Department of Environment (DoE).
After lot of drama Crystal gold is got cutting permit in Parki Beach, Anwara, Chittagong on December 2021.
In Bangladesh men desperate for work perform one of the world’s most dangerous jobs.
Ship Breaking or ship recycling is the process of dismantling an obsolete vessel's structure for scrapping or disposal, conducted on a dismantling yard.
Bangladesh is one of the top shipbreaking nations in the world, the industry is poorly regulated with little consideration for workers' occupational health & safety matters or the impact on the coastal environment. Heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), asbestos and hazardous wastes are potentially damaging to both the natural environment and to worker's health.
উন্নয়নশীল দেশগুলোর বদৌলতে জাহাজ ভাঙ্গা শিল্প পুরো বিশ্বে খুব দ্রুত ছড়িয়ে পড়ছে। মূলত যেসব পণ্যবাহী বা যাত্রীবাহী জাহাজের মেয়াদ শেষ হয়ে যায়, সেসব জাহাজের মালিকেরা ঐ জাহাজগুলো উন্নয়নশীল দেশগুলোতে বিশেষ করে দক্ষিণ এশিয়ার দেশগুলোতে তা বিক্রি করে।

A farmer unloads raw salt at salt field yard in Chittagong, Bangladesh. This photo is taken in the destination of Banshkhali Upazila in the division of Chittagong in the country of Bangladesh.
The salt industry being one of the largest labor intensive cottage industries of Bangladesh absorbs largely around 5 million people directly or indirectly. The total value chain of the salt industry in Bangladesh involves largely two sub-sectoral activities namely-- the refining process which is operated by salt mills and the crude salt production process that involves a significant chunk of marginal farmers of coastal Bangladesh.
Among the farmers, farmers some are cultivating salt on their own lands while the other farmers are cultivating salt after taking the land as lease either directly from owners of the lands or through middle men. Local administration sources said a huge quantity of lands are being used for salt cultivation in Banshkhali this year.

বাঁশখালীর উপকূল জুড়ে চলছে লবণ উৎপাদন। এখানকার বিভিন্ন ইউনিয়নে ৫০ হাজার লবণচাষি ১৫ হাজার হেক্টর জমিতে লবণ চাষ করছেন। অনেকে জমি মালিকের সঙ্গে চুক্তিতে চাষ করেন। উপজেলার কাথরিয়া, বাহারছড়া, সরল, গন্ডামারা, পুইছড়ি, শেখেরখীল, ছনুয়া ও খানখানাবাদ উপকূলীয় এলাকায় ব্যস্ত সময় পার করছেন তারা।
লবণ চাষিরা জানান, কাঠের রোলার দিয়ে মাঠ সমতল করার পর চারপাশে মাটির আইল দিয়ে ছোট ছোট প্লট তৈরি করা হয়। এরপর ছোট প্লটগুলো রোদে শুকিয়ে কালো বা নীল রঙের পলিথিন বিছিয়ে দেওয়া হয়।
জোয়ার এলে মাঠের মাঝখানে তৈরি করা নালা দিয়ে জমির প্লটে জমানো হয় সাগরের লবণাক্ত পানি। অনেকে ইঞ্জিনচালিত শ্যালো মেশিনও ব্যবহার করেন। এভাবে পানি সংগ্রহ করার পর ৪ থেকে ৫ দিন রোদে রাখা হয়।
কড়া রোদে পানি বাষ্পীভূত হয়ে চলে যায় আর লবণ পড়ে থাকে পলিথিনের ওপর। লবণ চাষ মূলত আবহাওয়ার ওপর নির্ভরশীল। একটু ঝড় বৃষ্টি হলেই উৎপাদন বন্ধ হয়ে যায়। কুয়াশাও লবণের জন্য ক্ষতিকর।
উৎপাদিত লবণ থেকে পানি সরে গেলে ব্যাপারীদের হাতে তুলে দেওয়া হয়। এই লবণ কিনে নিয়ে কারখানায় রিফাইনারি মেশিনের মাধ্যমে পরিশোধন শেষে বস্তা বা প্যাকেট ভর্তি করা হয়। পরে সেই লবণ চলে যায় বিভিন্ন স্থানে।

In Bangladesh, a large proportion of marine and freshwater fish landings are processed by drying. Dry fish is locally called ‘Shutki’. In winter, many fishermen catch fish mainly to make dry fish. But traditional drying methods are used in the absence of a modern dry fish preservation facility. Most of time they dry fish under sun; these dried fish can bring them profit by exporting them. The fish is also exported to different countries after meeting local demand, traders say. Demand for fish drying labor corresponds with the lunar cycle, with two high and two low weeks each month. A flexible labor force is thus required, and most workers are hired on a daily basis. These casual laborers, who often lack alternative employment options, are usually able to find work for around 15 days per month, but sometimes as few as 10. The working day runs from dawn to dusk (roughly 6.00 am to 6.00 pm), and there is a strong gender division of labor. Men perform tasks which include washing fresh fish, applying pesticides to prevent fly infestation, hanging fish up to dry on scaffolding, weighing and bagging dried product and loading it onto trucks. Women are responsible primarily for sorting fresh fish by species, tying pairs of churri and loitya together so that they can be hung up, and turning and further sorting of mixed fish species during the drying process. At least 50% of the causal laborers employed are women & child. Workers said they get daily wage of Tk 300 in addition to some raw fish.
