Non‑biodegradable waste clogs the Mayur River in Khulna, disrupting its flow and causing severe pollution. Polythene, plastic bottles, and other discarded materials are narrowing the channel, leading to stagnant water and raising the risk of waterlogging during the monsoon. The pollution also threatens local livelihoods, agriculture, and aquatic life. The photo was taken in the Gallamari area yesterday.
