Environment Adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan has declared that no waste— including that in the Matuail Sanitary Landfill—can be incinerated. Acknowledging that relocating the Matuail dump entirely will take time, she announced that two nearby steel mills will be shut down to mitigate environmental impact. “No battery burning or lead extraction from batteries will be allowed,” she added, citing enforcement actions already taken by the Department of Environment. During an inspection, Rizwana noted that air pollution in Dhaka has become a serious health concern and instructed city corporations and relevant agencies to adopt coordinated measures. She emphasized a dual approach: penalties for violations alongside public awareness campaigns.
