Half-Price Water at Sadarghat in Dhaka

Boys pour water into bottles for sale near the Sadarghat launch terminal in Dhaka, Bangladesh, on May 04, 2026. Children collect used plastic bottles left behind by passengers on arriving launches, refill them with water from a tap near a public toilet area, and sell them to travelers for Tk 20 per two-litre bottle, around half the price of a new sealed bottle. The informal trade reflects poverty, child labor, plastic waste, and low-cost travel at one of Bangladesh’s busiest river terminals, while raising concerns over hygiene and access to safe drinking water for passengers.
