##### BENEATH THE SURFACE
Sand arrives in bulk via the Meghna River at the bustling market near Daudkandi Bridge, where trucks and machinery stand ready to transport it to various destinations. One of Bangladeshâs largest sand markets, this hub plays a vital role in supplying construction projects across the city, driven by the efficiency of water transport.
