Several madrasa students carrying heavy biscuit cartons on their heads to the Sadhu Hossainiya Satantra Ebtedye Madrasa in Rangpur's Kaunia upazila. Their headmaster asked them to take the cartons, given by the government as part of a school feeding programme, to the madrasa from nearby Sadhu Kuthirpara village. Contacted, the headmaster, Fakrul Hossain, admitted that he often asks his students to do so to save transport cost. Photo: Collected.
