Violating health safety rules, Eid holidaymakers bound for southern districts head towards Shimulia Launchh Ghat in Munshiganj yesterday to board vessels. With the “strict lockdown” withdrawn for eight days for the Eid-ul-Azha, bus and launch terminals are now seeing huge crowds of people. Health experts have expressed alarm at such gatherings which may result in the exponential increase of novel coronavirus cases. Photo: Sajjad Hossain
