Dust pollution on Beribadh Road

Dhaka’s Babubazar-Gabtoli Beribadh Road is always muddy during the monsoon. But a single day of sunshine turns the mud into dust. Walking on this 11km road is a struggle against dust. With dust filling the atmosphere in Dhaka, the capital frequently ranks high among cities with the most polluted air in the world.
