Dhaka:Not winter fog, but smoke from burning plastic waste is creating an artificial haze along the Buriganga River in the early morning.
According to United News of Bangladesh, regular burning of plastic waste in the Kamrangirchar, Islambagh, and Swarighat areas is spreading smoke and foul odour across the surrounding neighbourhoods, raising concerns over environmental pollution and public health.
The pollution continues even in areas covered by a High Court directive on the removal of plastic waste from the riverbanks.
