A child walks along Hatirjheel near Tongi Diversion Road in the capital. Once a clear water body, the lake is now in an appalling state due to poor maintenance. Its water is so stinky that visitors find it difficult to go for a walk around the lake. The photo was taken on Thursday. Photo: Anisur Rahman
