Encroachers filling up the flood-flow zone of the Turag near Birulia Bridge on the outskirts of the capital. They even uprooted the guard pillars of the Birulia-Akran Road so that it is easier to dump dirt.

A worker hangs a wide array of colourful fabrics to dry on bamboo frames. The field is located in Hajiganj of Narayanganj, where 4,000 pieces of fabric are dried daily before being sent to a local garment factory for production. While the row of bright and colourful fabric can make for a beautiful scene, the cost comes in the form of dyeing chemicals that are dumped into the nearby waterbodies. The photo was taken recently.
