A train bound for Narayanganj passes through a kitchen market, illegally set up along the Dhaka-Narayanganj rail line, in the city’s Shyampur area. Locals said the market was built along a one-kilometre stretch of the track about a month ago after the railway authorities had evicted vendors from another nearby kitchen market in Jurain. Such disregard for safety can lead to fatal accidents. The photo was taken on Wednesday. Photo: Anisur Rahman
