Living with stink and garbage


Most of the drains in Dhaka are open skyward. Everything from human excreta, household water, thrownaways is floating freely in the wading water of these drains. No passersby seem to bother about that. But the germs hovering over these open drains must be finding their way into the nostrils-and-then-to-stomachs of these unperturbed walkers.

Worse still, when these drains go clogged with heavy rubbish along with soil, people have it dredged up and dumped right beside the drains by the footpaths. That generates even more odious smell as well as a hideous sight. Guys with a sense of aesthetic beauty will certainly find it repelling. When I pass these street side gooey dunes, I feel like running past.

  1. We also have the same problem on some parts of our Country! It's so hard to imagine how the people living near them survives. But I am still hopeful that someday these streets will be repaired and that people will be more disciplined!
