Choked with waste materials and aquatic plants, the capital's Gulshan Lake is in an awful state. Continuous dumping of garbage and sewage from adjacent residential areas keep polluting the water body. Because of the dirty and stagnant water, it has become an ideal mosquito-breeding site.

It is hard to believe that this is a public toilet near the Police Control Room in Shahbagh, one of the busiest areas in the capital. This dilapidated structure is hardly visible as traders of wedding decorations have put up shops around it. Those who still use the toilet find it difficult to access. The photo was taken yesterday.
