Turag River (Bengali: তুরাগ নদী; [t̪uraɡnɔd̪i]) is the upper tributary of the Buriganga, a major river in Bangladesh. The Turag originates from the Bangshi River, the latter an important tributary of the Dhaleshwari River, flows through Gazipur and joins the Buriganga at Mirpur in Dhaka District. It is navigable by boat all year round.
The Turag suffers from infilling along its banks, which restricts its flow.[1] It also suffers from acute water pollution. While attempts have been made to marginally widen the river,[2] the majority of industry has made little effort to follow environmental law[3] and the water has become visibly discolored.
