As the waterbodies in Ghazirhat Baghmara village in Khulna’s Dighalia upazila come alive with snails when it rains, Saraswati Goldar uses the opportunity to earn some money. She and many others in her village collect around 25-30kgs of snails every day and sells them at Tk 10 per kg. Snails are usually in high demand as food for ducks or fish.

The Shyampur Road in the capital has been in a dismal state for nearly a month now due to a leak in a Wasa pipe and poor drainage in the area. This has not only damaged the road but has been causing heavy traffic jams there. Despite the plight of the locals, the authorities concerned are yet to take any measures.
