Vehicles stop on the main thoroughfare in front of Rajuk Uttara Model College in the capital as a student jaywalks while another is about to do the same to cross the busy street. There used to be a footbridge nearby but it was removed more than a year ago. As a result, hundreds of pedestrians have to cross the road this way, risking their life. The photo was taken on Sunday.
