A boat packed with freshly harvested winter vegetables entering the capital via the Buriganga from Munshiganj. Every year winter comes as a delight for food lovers as vegetables flood the city markets. Even all-season vegetables tend to drop in prices during this season. The photo was taken in the capital’s Postogola yesterday.

Sweaters, jackets and shawls are flying off the vans of hawkers, as the bone-chilling winter has taken over the country. Sellers at the capital’s New Market area are getting overwhelmed with the number of customers, who are in search for a sweet deal. This photo was taken yesterday. Photo: Anisur Rahman
Although traffic lights are present in almost every area of the capital, most are not in operation. As a result, traffic police are often seen controlling vehicular movement through gesturing. Even though attempts for digitisation are aplenty, when it comes to the traffic system of one of the busiest cities in the country, nothing seems to work out. This photo was taken in Shahbagh area yesterday.
