River Buriganga Pollution - Dhaka

Wastage plastic material dumped on the River Buriganga, in Dhaka, Bangladesh, April 23, 2024. Plastic is being found just by digging into the soil on the banks of Buriganga. Plastic is showing up even seven feet under the ground. These plastics from the banks later sink to the river bed. It has been found that some of these plastics are even older than a decade. And these remained almost the same, unaltered. Such images surfaced in an ongoing study about the presence of plastic in the soil on Buriganga banks. There is much discussion on plastic accumulated on the river beds as well as floating on the rivers Buriganga, Balu, Turag, Dhaleshwari and Shitalakhya, the five rivers surrounding Dhaka.
