GETTING THEIR STEP COUNT UP.... A pair of workers have the laborious job of laying out miles of red fabric so it can dry. The pair were changing the colour of fields in Narsingdi, Dhaka, Bangladesh as the fabric air dries following the dyeing process.<br /> <br /> Ariful Amin said, "The workers were stretching red cotton fabric rolls out across the fields. Each roll is 900 meters, dyed, dried in the sun, folded and delivered to the moneylender, a labourer gets a wage of just over £5 for their day's work. The cloth is dried in the sun in the open field, usually 3-4 hours to dry the clothes."<br /> <br /> "The main material for making the coating is red salu cloth. As we enter winter, the value of red salu cloth has increased."<br /> <br /> Please byline: Ariful Amin/Solent News<br /> <br /> © Ariful Amin/Solent News & Photo Agency<br /> UK +44 (0) 2380 458800
