Locals found these vultures at Masterpara village in Dinajpur's Chirirbandar upazila on Wednesday. The birds were too weak to fly and they were not taking any food offered by locals.

A worker puts the final touches on an iron gate in the capital's Segunbagicha beside the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs yesterday noon. Around 16 of these gates will be set up at different points of the area along with private security guards by the local ward councillor to “ensure public safety and restrict entry of unwanted outsiders”, according to the contractors.
