This is the situation of a major thoroughfare at the tannery estate in Savar, on the outskirts of the capital. On the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, lakhs of cattle will be sacrificed and their rawhides are supposed to end up here for primary processing. This vast estate was built for facilitating the leather industry but its present condition suggests otherwise. The photo was taken on Wednesday. Photo: Palash Khan
One of the busiest hubs of Dhaka city, Farmgate, wears a deserted look yesterday, the last office day before the beginning of Eid-ul-Azha holidays. On any normal day, this intersection remains teeming with people and traffic throughout the day, sometimes late into the night. The photo was taken around 10:00am. Photo: Palash Khan
