A police vehicle unable to move due to crowds on a road in Mitford hospital area in Old Dhaka. Ironically, the road is lined with shops selling hygiene products for Covid-19 -- masks, gloves, sanitizer. To buy these products, people throng the road every day from morning to evening, completely ignoring social distancing guidelines. Photo:

Apparently untreated effluent from tanneries at Savar Tannery Industrial Estate flows into the Dhaleshwari river. The estate has been using its central effluent treatment plant on trial for almost two years and is yet to put it into regular service. The photo was taken in Savar’s Hemayetpur area yesterday.
