Regular burning of plastic waste in Kamrangirchar, Islambagh and Swarighat areas is spreading smoke and foul odour across the surrounding neighbourhoods, raising concerns over environmental pollution and public health.
The pollution continues even in areas covered by a High Court directive on the removal of plastic waste from the riverbanks.
