Vehicles stop as garments workers jaywalk on Dhaka-Tangail highway in Ashulia DEPZ area of Savar, on the outskirts of the capital, around 7:00am on Monday. Although there is a footbridge (not seen in the photo) yards away, hundreds of garment workers cross the busy road this way to go to work almost every morning, ignoring the danger. Photo: Palash Khan
A car goes over a large speed bump inadvertently created when Dhaka Wasa installed pipes over the road during monsoon last year to drain out stagnant water and temporarily covered the pipes. A year has gone by but the pipes on Lalbagh Beribadh Road in the capital have not been relocated or the road smoothened. Photo: Anisur Rahman
A portion of Buriganga Second Channel in the capital's Kamrangirchar is choked with garbage dumped by locals. Hard to believe this was once a vibrant canal. The photo was taken yesterday. Photo: Anisur Rahman
A young man navigates his way through moving vehicles while talking over the phone at Farmgate yesterday. Pedestrians often become victims of road accidents, and many of them meet with tragedies because of a lack of awareness. Photo: Prabir Das
This beautiful natural setting is only a prelude to the waterfall, Sahasradhara Jharna (a waterfall of a thousand streams). It is located only a few kilometres from the bustle of Sitakunda upazila headquarters. A traveller can take a short motorcycle or car ride, trek on the meandering path along the green hillocks from Chhoto Darogar Haat and then take a boat to soak in the greenery. The photo was taken recently. Photo: Rajib Raihan
