The government has declared all of Savar Upazila in Dhaka District a “Degraded Airshed” due to dangerously high air pollution levels. Starting September, all brick kilns except tunnel and hybrid Hoffman types must halt operations, and open burning of solid waste and new polluting factories are banned. Monitoring data shows Savar’s air pollution exceeds national limits nearly threefold, threatening public health. The move aims to reduce pollution in both Savar and Dhaka and protect the population, especially during the dry season.
