In Bangladesh, many poor people migrated from the village areas to urban for their better living. Many of them pick recyclables plastic materials to sell the Market for their livelihood. The number of poor people is increasing day by day in Bangladesh, Economic and social disparities level is in the earth to sky. The poor become poorer and Rich people are richer. Nearly 40% of people live below the poverty limit in the village areas in Bangladesh. Some Poverty victim family men, women and their children come to the big cities and some of they collect recyclables plastic household materials from permanent waste land which is harmful for health. But they have to work in these unhealthy work environments, for surviving their livelihood and daily income 200 to 300 taka (USD 2.5-4). And I have found a family of Rafiqul Islam who, were forced to purchases one trucks medical waste by USD 13. From the City Corporation employee truck driver of carrying the medical waste in Sylhet City, it is Payroll driver immoral corruption.
Then the whole day Rafiqul and her wife separated the recyclable item/materials. End of the day, selling to recycling shop, approximately BDT 2000-25000 (USD 25-30). The permanent waste land under Sylhet City Corporation. Lalmatia, Sylhet, Bangladesh.
“I mainly focused in my work, the poor people and surviving their livelihood, Children deprived of his rights, unhealthy working situation, and environment, Payroll driver immoral corruption.” – Md. Akhlas Uddin
