Frustrated and tired, three-year-old Reshma breaks into tears after having to stand in a crowd for hours in front of an OMS truck in the capital’s Beribandh area. While the essentials, sold at subsidised rates, are handed out after 12:00pm, people queue up from early in the morning to ensure their spot in line. However, for children like Reshma, whose parents bring them along with no option at home, the situation becomes unbearable. PHOTO: PRABIR DAS
Bholaganj Shada Pathor, once a popular tourist spot in Sylhet’s Companiganj, has become seriously unappealing due to constant release of dust in the air from the noisy stone-crushing machines.

By now, the world cup fever taken over the country, but for the younger spirits, the zeal is far more apparent. From dawn to dusk, children take turns playing in their local open spaces, likely trying to become the next football stars. This photo was taken in Rayerbazar’s Boishakhi playground recently.
