Dustbins were put in the city, in the north and the south area, in 2016 and people were supposed to put garbage in a specified place to reduce pollution. But, the dustbins do not exist now, writes Md Golam Sharower
THE population of the capital Dhaka increases. So does pollution. The menace of vector-borne diseases also increases with with the increased pollution. A study says that 6,500 tonnes of waste is produced daily in the capital city. The disposal of this huge amount of waste is important. The study also says that about 55 per cent of waste are disposed of daily which causes severe environmental pollution. It has made the city life intolerable. Mosquitoes and flies spread rapidly.
