Chattogram

Chattogram

Chattogram generates around 3,200 tonnes of waste daily, but the city corporation collects only about 2,200 tonnes, leaving the rest unmanaged. Ageing equipment, limited manpower and weak collection systems cause waste to spill onto roads, into drains, canals and water bodies, worsening waterlogging, pollution and public health risks. The photo was recently taken at a dumping station in the Anandabazar area of Halishahar, Chattogram. Photo: Mohammad Minhaj Uddin
