A young boy lays out dyed leather sheets at a tannery in the capital’s Hazaribagh, highlighting the persistence of child labour in hazardous conditions. Although tannery factories were relocated from Dhaka to Savar’s Hemayetpur due to environmental concerns, smaller operations, warehouses, and leather processing activities continue in Hazaribagh, including dyeing, drying, chemical use, and storage. The photo was taken recently.
