The unnamed “hardy worker” to scoop out liquid filth with the use of his hands, to provide better drainage system in Bangladeshi capital.
Dhaka city has a population in excess of 14 million and has recently been hit by major floods caused by heavy rains and an insufficient storm drainage system.
Despite the alarming rise in the number of deaths of manhole workers, cleaners are still not supplied with sufficient equipment and regularly have to enter the dirty sludge topless.
