Dhaka, Bangladesh is making a bold move to combat air pollution by installing 50 high-tech air purifiers across key city spots—each as effective as 100 trees. Funded entirely by private sponsors, the initiative offers a fast, cost-free solution to the city’s worsening air quality.

In parallel, new regulations will mandate lithium batteries for battery-powered rickshaws and cap license numbers to curb syndicate control. Together, these steps signal a strong push toward a cleaner, healthier Dhaka.
