Rajshahi: the city that took on air pollution - and won
by Emma Graham-Harrison in Rajshahi and Vidhi Doshi in Tezpur

On 17 June 2016 The Guardian reported:
In Bangladesh, one of the world's most polluted cities has led the way globally in ridding itself of harmful PM10 particles. Once, Rajshahi's sweltering summers were made worse by a familiar problem on the Asian subcontinent: windows would have to be shut, not because of the wind or monsoon, but because of the smog. Then suddenly Rajshahi, in Bangladesh, hit a turning point so dramatic that it earned a spot in the record books: last year, according to UN data, the town did more than any other worldwide to rid itself of air particles so harmful to human health. The small city of Tezpur in east India has traditionally had little to brag about. The holy Brahmaputra river roars at its edges and the mighty Himalayan mountains adorn its skyline, but couched between these geographical marvels, Tezpur itself is little more than a layover stop for travellers in the state of Assam. But while many of India's industrial towns have reached peak pollution levels, Tezpur's air is getting cleaner.
