Save Buriganga

Picture
Chemical waste from tanneries in Hazaribagh being siphoned to Buriganga from the temporary dumping ground as monsoon rainwater overflows the city water bodies. According to the environment department, up to 40,000 tonnes of tannery waste flows untreated into the Buriganga a day. Photographs taken yesterday at Hazaribagh show that there are no authorities to stop pollution to save Dhaka's lifeline. PHOTO: Syed Zakir Hossain
