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.

When fishermen fish in the fog-covered river in the winter morning, an unearthly environment is created. It's like a heavenly morning.

The second-largest city, Chittagong, has the biggest wholesale market for marine and freshwater fish. This place is known as Chattagram Fishery Ghat, which was established 200 years ago. It was founded by the Portuguese. They created this market when business was needed in Chattagram, and they got the right to collect port duty. The traditional Chattagram Fishery Ghat has two locations. The location of the Fishery Ghat on Iqbal Road in Patharghata has been changed to a newer and larger scale Fishery Ghat at Lusai Kanya at the mouth of Rajakhali on the banks of the Karnafuli River. Depending on the season, different types of fish are traded every night from 3 pm to 8 am. In this market, the fish comes from every district, which is later transported to other corners of the country. And that is why the Chattagram Fishery Ghat is full of fish merchants. The fish worth millions are traded.

The Chattagram fishery Ghat is the workplace for many fishmongers, porters, tea-sellers, Betal leaf sellers and shopping bag sellers. In addition, several people work every day at this Ghat to repair nets. This fishery ghat is their livelihood. There is cold storage developed around this market where fish is stored. There are also several restaurants on the Ghat. Around half a million peoples livelihood is connected to this fish market. About 10000 fishing boats and hundreds of trawlers of Chattgaram filled with fish is sold in this market.

Karnaphuli is the largest and most important river in Chattogram and the Chattogram Hill Tracts. Before the Padma, it was the fastest flowing river in Bangladesh. The mouth of the river hosts the Port of Chattogram, the largest and busiest seaport of Bangladesh.

A place towards the sea, a lot of vessels can be seen from here.
This is the real beauty of nature. The hilly river is heart of all business & trade. But the river is polluted by the human. River's animal life is seriously affected.

From 4 to 9 every morning, different types of fish caught from the Bay of Bengal and other sources -- are brought to the port city's Karnaphuli ghat from wholesale depots. The business is the busiest during night times, taking the numbers to millions.

At the break of dawn, hundreds of massive trawlers and fishing ships emerge from the seas and rivers at the shores carrying their catches for the day. Each large trawler can carry about a tone of fish. About 220 bazars and six warehouses are set to sell their fish every day.

On the side of the bank of Karnaphuli river, this colossal ghat upholds the biggest fish market for marine and native fish in the port area known as the Chattogram Fishery Ghat. Almost every district of the country imports fish of different categories from here on wholesale and starts their trading amongst the locals.

Founded by the Portuguese almost 200 years ago, this fishing ghat is now thriving in the heart of this city. Located in Lusai Kanya, at the mouth of the Rajkhali and on the bank of the Karnaphuli, it has been made its official location recently from the former location on Iqbal road in Patharghata.

Hilsa makes a festive entrance to the markets of the ghat during its peak season. The ghat also sees the busiest trade at this time of the year. Fish weighing even up to 200 kilos are brought to the market and sold either in whole or in pieces.

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।
