A banner, asking not to dump waste, was hung by the Dhaka South City Corporation over the second channel of the Buriganga in Kamrangirchar two years ago citing ongoing clean up work. The cleanup work stopped within a few days and the channel now overflows with waste discarded by the public. The photo was taken yesterday. PHOTO: AMRAN HOSSAIN
A family member holds the hands of a vaccine recipient, as he sits on a wheelchair at the post-vaccination waiting room at Dhaka Medical College yesterday morning. A total of 1,58,451 people, including eminent personalities and diplomats of foreign missions in Dhaka, got inoculated yesterday across the country, according to the Directorate General of Health Service (DGHS).
This crowded section of Noor Mansion Shopping Centre in the capital’s Mirpur Road, where there is no available space to maintain distance and masks are few and far between, might imply that everyone has received the vaccine. But with many still waiting to get immunised against the virus, this is probably just another episode of people disregarding dangers Covid-19 poses to their health. PHOTO: Palash Khan
