HC bans removal of garbage in open trucks in Dhaka

The High Court Monday banned removal garbage in open-back trucks in Dhaka and set the time for removing waste.

Justice Quazi Reza-Ul-Hoque and Justice Mohammad Ullah gave the order after a preliminary hearing on a writ petition, as per a report on bdnews24.com.

Dhaka's two city corporations have been instructed to remove garbage only in covered vans and between 10pm and 6am.

Bangladesh's capital city of 18 million residents produces up to 5,000 tonnes of garbage a day, according to data provided by city authorities.
