MISTY MOUNTAIN TOP ... A part of the Himalayas, Kanchenjunga is the third highest mountain in the world and lies between the border areas of Nepal and India’s Sikkim. Its peak can be seen from Panchagarh, especially Tentulia upazila, during the months of October to December. When the clouds clear and the conditions are favourable, Kanchenjunga makes for an exquisite site. The surrounding fog, greenery, and mountains only add to the mystical beauty of the summit. People, including nature lovers and photographers, rush to Tentulia to relish the view. The photo was taken from Dak-Bungalow area of the upazila yesterday. PHOTO: MOSTAFA SHABUJ
A battery-run three-wheeler forcing fast vehicles to slow down on the Babu Bazar bridge in the capital even though small vehicles are not allowed there. This increases the risk of major road accidents as large vehicles use the bridge, a key artery to enter and exit Dhaka, to get on the Bangabandhu expressway and then on the Padma Bridge to head to the southwest region.

An elderly man places a shopping bag on the road in the capital’s Palashi to keep a spot in a queue for buying rice and flour from an OMS truck at subsidised prices. The truck arrives around 9:30am, but people, including women, from low-income families start lining up as early as 5:00am every working day. Each person can buy a maximum 5kg rice at Tk 30 per kg and a 2kg packet of flour at Tk 43. The photo was taken around 8:30am yesterday.
