The name of the traditional river of ancient Chittagong is Karnafuli. This river is an immortal witness of thousands of years of history. Starting from the eastern hills, this river has merged with the Bay of Bengal on the wide western side. The scenery of the two banks of Karnafuli is amazing. Fishing boat with fishermen's equipment on the river bank in the morning at Karnafuli river (Kaptai). When fishermen fish in the fog-covered river in the winter morning, an unearthly environment is created. It's like a heavenly morning.

Chittagong, the holy land of Bar Auliya and the green land of natural beauty, has developed on the banks of Karnafuli. One of the main reasons for this beauty of Chittagong is Karnafuli. The port built on the banks of this river is economically important. Chittagong port is very old. The river is losing its romance. The river is only being attacked because of the profiteering people. The only hydropower plant in Bangladesh has been built on Karnafuli.

কর্ণফুলী নদীতে (কাপ্তাই) ভোরে নদীর তীরে জেলেদের সরঞ্জাম সহ মাছ ধরার নৌকা। শীতের ভোরে জেলেরা যখন কুয়াশা ঢাকা নদীতে মাছ ধরে তখন অপার্থিব পরিবেশ তৈরি হয়। এ যেন স্বর্গীয় এক সকাল।
প্রাচীন চট্টগ্রামের ঐতিহ্যবাহী নদীর নাম কর্ণফুলী। হাজার হাজার বছরের ইতিহাসের অমর সাক্ষী এই নদী। পূর্ব পাহাড় থেকে শুরু হয়ে বিস্তীর্ণ পশ্চিম পাশে গড়িয়ে গড়িয়ে বঙ্গোপসাগরের সাথে মিলে গেছে এই নদী।
কর্ণফুলীর দুই তীরের প্রাকৃতিক দৃশ্য এক কোথায় অসাধারণ। যে কারও চোখ জুড়াবেই। কর্ণফুলীর ওপরে গড়ে উঠেছে বাংলাদেশের একমাত্র জলবিদ্যুৎ কেন্দ্র।
কর্ণফুলীর তীরে গড়ে উঠেছে বার আউলিয়ার পুণ্যভূমি, প্রাকৃতিক সৌন্দর্যের লীলাভূমি চট্টগ্রাম। চট্টগ্রামের এই সৌন্দর্যের অন্যতম প্রধান কারণ হলো কর্ণফুলী। অর্থনৈতিকভাবে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ হলো এ নদীর তীরে গড়ে ওঠা বন্দর। চট্টগ্রাম বন্দর বহু পুরোনো।
নদী তার রোমান্টিকতা হারিয়ে ফেলছে। মুনাফালোভী মানুষের কারণে নদী কেবল আগ্রাসনের শিকার হচ্ছে।
মানবিক ও শৈল্পিক দৃষ্টিতে তার রূপ উপভোগ কিংবা নদীজীবনের স্বাদ গ্রহণের রুচি আজ হারিয়ে যাচ্ছে। কান পাতলে কর্ণফুলী নদী’র গুঞ্জন আজও শোনা যাবে, চোখ মেলে তাকালে পাহাড়-অরণ্য-উপত্যকা ভেদ করে ছুটে চলা স্রোতস্বিনীর সৌন্দর্যও দেখা যাবে।কিন্তু সে কান আর প্রাণ কোথায় আজ? প্রয়োজনের ক্ষুধিত চাহিদার থাবার নিচে সবই মিথ্যা হয়ে যাচ্ছে। হয়তো কর্ণফুলীর গুঞ্জন আদতে তার ক্রন্দন আজ। হয়তো দেশের অন্য নদীর ক্ষেত্রেও এ-ই সত্য।

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.
