What looks like a dumping zone is actually Goali Chara canal – one of the nine canals running through Sylhet city. Regular dumping of household waste along with garbage from commercial businesses including plastic bottles and bags has filled up the once 30-35 feet wide canal, causing severe waterlogging. The stagnant water also provides ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. The photo was taken yesterday afternoon. Photo: Sheikh Nasir
Even though the road is known as VIP road, these potholes veiled under the murky stagnant water were created just because of a few days' rainfall, an eventual result of poor construction work and lack of maintenance. Photo:
