Passengers get inside a run-down human haulier near Shapla Chatter at the capital's Motijheel on Friday. The vehicle has dents and damage almost all over its body, and the windows, wing mirror, indicator lights and headlights are broken as well. For lack of proper monitoring, plenty of such worn-out vehicles operate in the capital every day, ignoring the risk of accidents. Photo: Rashed Shumon
