The water of Hatirjheel has become discoloured getting mixed with sewage from different areas in the capital. In the absence of a proper drainage and sewer management system, the contamination is a major headache for the city. It also leads to river pollution as the canal is linked with the Balu, which joins the Shitalakkhya. The photo was taken at Hatirjheel-Rampura on January 28, 2018. Photo: Prabir Das
