চট্টগ্রামের রাঙ্গুনিয়ার গুমাই বিল। বলা হয়ে থাকে, এক গুমাই বিলে উৎপাদিত ধান থেকে দেশের আড়াই দিনের খাদ্য জোগান হয়। গুমাই বিলের পানির উৎস যে ছড়া ও খালগুলো তা নানাভাবে বন্ধ করে দেওয়া হয়েছে। অবিরাম ইটভাটা গড়ে উঠছে এবং পুরো বিল দখল হয়ে যাচ্ছে।

কর্ণফুলি নদীর নামের উৎস সম্পর্কে বিভিন্ন কাহিনী প্রচলিত আছে। কথিত আছে যে, আরাকানের এক রাজকন্যা চট্টগ্রামের এক পাহাড়ি রাজপুত্রের প্রেমে পড়েন। এক জ্যোৎস্নাস্নাত রাতে তারা দুই জন এই নদীতে নৌভ্রমণ উপভোগ করছিলেন। নদীর পানিতে চাঁদের প্রতিফলন দেখার সময় রাজকন্যার কানে গোঁজা একটি ফুল পানিতে পড়ে যায়। ফুলটি হারিয়ে কাতর রাজকন্যা সেটা উদ্ধারের জন্য পানিতে ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়েন। কিন্তু প্রবল স্রোতে রাজকন্যা ভেসে যান, তার আর খোঁজ পাওয়া যায় নি। রাজপুত্র রাজকন্যাকে বাঁচাতে পানিতে লাফ দেন, কিন্তু সফল হন নি। রাজকন্যার শোকে রাজপুত্র পানিতে ডুবে আত্মাহুতি দেন। এই করুণ কাহিনী থেকেই নদীটির নাম হয় কর্ণফুলী

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.
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. Everyone's eyes will be closed. The only hydropower plant in Bangladesh has been built on Karnafuli.
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.
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।
Date juice is the juice collected from the date plam in winter. Usually date juice is collected from earthen jars.At present, however, in many cases, it is collected in plastic bottles instead of soil.Drinking date juice removes the weakness of the body.It contains high natural sugar and other natural ingredients. However, in many cases, drinking date juice is a health risk.
The head of the date palm is thoroughly cleaned to collect sap from the date palm. Then the clean white part is cut and the juice is collected in small and big jugs in a special way. Every day during the winter season, the white part of the tree head is cleaned and the bones are hung on the tree from afternoon to evening. In the morning the bones are brought down. Patali and Lali molasses are usually made from the juice and sold.
A wide view perspective of Cape Disapointment and the light house, with king tides crashing against the rocks. What a feeling these thunderous waves had on me from swell to spray.
Quick facts>
The first known documentation of the site was in 1775 by Spanish explorer Bruno Heceta, who named it “Bahia de La Asuncion,” or Bay of the Assumption. Then in 1788, British trader John Meares named it “Cape Disappointment” when he mistakenly believed that the mouth of the Columbia River was only a bay.
