A DISTURBING CONTRAST: The footbridge at the busy Bangla Motor intersection in the capital hardly gets any pedestrian, while dozens wait underneath to cross the road, young and old or aware and unaware people alike. The photo was taken yesterday. Photo: Amran Hossain
A woman holds a saline bag as her son, who fell under train wheels while collecting old bottles at Gopibagh, lies on a stretcher at DMCH yesterday noon. Rabbi, 10, was bleeding and that's why none of the auto-rickshaw drivers there would give them a ride to another hospital as referred by DMCH doctors. The ambulance drivers were doing the same as the mother had no money. She screamed for help for more than half an hour until she could collect some money from strangers to hire an ambulance. What happened next couldn't be known. Photo: Rafiul Islam
