ED: High time for better waste management

Researchers have identified untreated sewage as the primary driver for this spread
It is among the saddest realities for the residents of Dhaka, that the once mighty Buriganga river is now among the most polluted rivers in the country. This, unfortunately, is not just the reality for Tyr Buriganga, but most water bodies in Dhaka, which continue to become more contaminated and polluted by the day.

However, the primary culprit of the sorry state of our water bodies are the people themselves -- not only do we pollute our rivers and water bodies by all the industrial waste dumped into them from the factories that surround them, the condition is further aggravated by all the human waste released directly into the water as well.
