Leather industry …. Very important in terms of direct economy…
But this hazardous industry developed inside Dhaka city….within very populated locality…
Tannery industry which is currently located in Hazarybug area not only polluting the air od Dhaka City every day…it is also splitting pollution in the Buriganga river…. a cancer cell within the city…
Thousands of workers work in this industry….with absolutely no protection from the industry hazards … people work there …. Suffering from many diseases….
People work there…. Living with their families….. what ever is the long term effect….life goes on…

A worker is burning leather waste …. Thick black air is coming out….but life goes on…. Need a cigarette for the leftover lungs….
