Iron fences can't fend off pollution

The canal flowing beside the new road at Hazaribagh's Kalunagar in Dhaka is filled with plastic waste. Despite the Dhaka South City Corporation's efforts to put up iron fences to prevent plastic waste being dumped at the location, there is so much waste dumped in it that the water is not visible.
