Something strange in the Hatirjheel water

The water in Hatirjheel, a scenic spot in Dhaka, has suddenly turned pink. The change in colour is especially noticeable in the FDC and Moghbazar areas. The polluted water gives off a foul odour and destroys the beauty and environmental balance of the lake.

As the water in a large section of Hatirjheel has turned pink, the lake's familiar beauty has faded.
