INHALING POISON...Without any safety gear, a worker collecting coal in Chattogram’s Majhir Ghat area, where coal imported from India, Indonesia and other countries, is stored and then later sold and sent to different parts of the country. Such utter disregard for ensuring health safety measures by the authorities concerned results in serious respiratory and skin conditions for the workers.
