Vehicles stuck in a long tailback on the Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue in the capital around 5:15pm yesterday. Traffic in many places was at a standstill during that time as many rushed home for iftar. Photo: Sk Enamul Haq
The 6km-long Port Connecting Road in Agrabad being dug up by Chattogram Wasa, just three months after the road was repaired for the smooth plying of vehicles. Locals are blaming both Wasa and the Chattogram City Corporation for this irresponsible move just ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr and the monsoon season. PHOTO: RAJIB RAIHAN
People save their spots in a queue by placing their bags on the divider of the road where an OMS truck (not in the picture) was parked in the capital’s Mirpur-2 yesterday. They do it so they could wait under the shade of roadside trees a few yards away. Consumers from the low-income group have to wait from morning to late afternoon to get essentials at subsidised prices, and the scorching noon sun sometimes becomes unbearable to withstand.
