Yesterday’s hazy morning sky was not a result of fog, it was smog and dust. Once again, Dhaka had the worst air quality in the world, according to Air Quality Index (AQI). On November 25, the capital last saw the worst air quality, according to Air Visual. This prompted the government to take immediate measures such as sprinkling water on city streets as seen on Minto Road. Photo: Anisur Rahman
