As its lush flowers start to bloom, they signal hope for Azmol. This photo was taken from Sylhet’s Mogalgaon union. Photo: Sheikh Nasir

Aminbazar resident Mohammad Miah used to make a living out of providing boat rides around the area’s low-land, where waterlogging was a constant issue every monsoon. But for the last few years, the problem has subsided to an extent. While this is welcome for the area’s residents, for Mohammad, it meant the end of his run with this boat. He was therefore carrying it to a suitable place, where he could break it down and use the scraps as firewood. This photo was taken recently. Photo: Palash Khan
