Star Day at a Glance | Wednesday, June 19, 2019

Vehicles and rickshaws make U-turns trough a gap in the median strip on Dhaka-Chattogram highway in the capital's Matuail area. Locals created the gap by breaking part of the median strip to go to nearby lanes and by-lanes. This illegal activity slows down the traffic on the busy highway and also posing risk of accidents.
