Bins taken out from city streets are dumped in Bangladesh Math in Old Dhaka. Two city corporations of Dhaka had set up those on streets to get people into the habit of using dustbins and keep the city clean.

Md Shahjahan, 28, waits for customers at his tea stall on the custom-built three-wheeler. The man from Chandpur had lost the use of his legs after a disease when he was two and a half years old. Three years ago, he bought the wheeler chair with financial help from others and started selling tea in different areas of the capital. He now makes around Tk 300 a day. The photo was taken in the city's Chankharpool area yesterday. Photo: Anisur Rahman
He has no accreditation, had no formal education. Yet those who have been seeing him over the years call him “Doctor Mizan” for he claims to carry “medicines” some of which can cure illnesses of humans and others of livestock. This “physician” rolls from one weekly village bazar to another on his shabby two-wheeler, making use of his public speaking skills on a megaphone to convince people into buying his “elixirs”. Making a living in this manner for the past 10 years, he says his father passed down the profession and “knowledge on pharmacology”. The photo was taken in Gaibandha's Fulchhari Haat recently.
