The road near Rajarbagh Police Lines in the capital has been left like this for around three months for the development work of the area's drainage system. People have to go through huge sufferings while negotiating the road on foot or in vehicles. The development work is also affecting the local businesses as the owners are facing losses due to the present condition of the road. The photo was taken on Tuesday. Photo: Amran Hossain
With a lack of sufficient equipment being a persistent problem for almost all of government agencies, the Dhaka Metropolitan Police deploys a wrecker to take away the usually benign vehicle -- the rickshaw, near Gabtoli inter-district bus terminal in the capital yesterday. This is the case when Dhaka city is overrun with unfit and outdated public buses, representing bigger dangers. However, it is also true that the slow moving rickshaw is a major contributor to the city's traffic jam. Photo: Palash Khan
