Rising sea levels: Geo bags placed to save Cox’s Bazar’s Marine Drive

A geo bag embankment is being made in an effort to stop the breakage of the 80-kilometre road from Cox's Bazar to Teknaf, known as Marine Drive.

Teknaf Upazila Nirbahi Officer Md Kamruzzaman said the Bangladesh Army has started working since Friday to prevent erosion.

However, the locals have complained that the geo bags too have weakened due to the rising sea levels.
