At the Haor region of Kishoreganj in Bangladesh, rural agro-labours and peasants are living a blackened life. They drink the poisonous water, mixed with pesticide and other chemical fertilizers. They drink from the arable land adjacent drains. They don't even walk for pure water. They don't feel the urge to bring pure water from there home as well. No governmental or non-governmental steps have been taken to stop this. Shykh Seraj travels to Kishoreganj to get an in-depth overview on the issue.
