Rampant garbage dumping on the side of the streets has made lives of the people of Barisal city insufferable. The photo was taken yesterday in front of the Barisal Government BM College by which hundreds of students pass every day. Whether a proper garbage collection system, including collecting waste from door-to-door, would be implemented remains to be see. Photo: Arifur Rahman
Jaywalking caused around a dozen accidents and at least four deaths at the Basabo end of Khilgaon Flyover in the capital last year alone, according to the locals. To prevent this, locals have recently put up additional barricades on the median strip and hired people with their own money to guard it. Earlier, most people would try to wind their way on the other side of the road through fast-moving traffic, like in the inset photo taken in November last year, though there is a footbridge just metres away.
