About
Hatirjheel is a lakefront in Dhaka, Bangladesh with surrounding roads and bridges built to ease traffic congestion. The largest freshwater basin in Dhaka, Hatirjheel historically served as a waterway for bathing elephants during the colonial period and was later used by traders via the now-defunct Narai River. Over time, it became heavily encroached upon by illegal structures. In 2008, the government launched a development project that included the construction of roads, bridges, and a water retention area.
