Poster sticking and graffiti writing were made punishable offences in a 2012 act.

A child peeling the shells off shrimps to turn them into “shutki” (dried fish) on a small island called Dhaal Char in northern Bhola, where the Meghna meets the Bay of Bengal. School children sometimes join the adults in the work of drying the fish, even though they are not officially paid for it. On some occasions, they take a few of the fish or shrimps, and sell them to the market by themselves to earn a few hundred taka. The photo was taken yesterday.
