Risky Nillboards!

Giant unipole billboards have been put up haphazardly at many places in the capital. Supported only by a metal pole, they pose a great danger to pedestrians and passing vehicles. One such billboard fell on a pedestrian on Sunday, leaving him injured. The photos were taken on Bailey Road, Rokeya Sarani and Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue and at Shahbagh, Kakrail and Mirpur-10 intersections yesterday. Photo: Star
