During the month of Ramadan, the capital’s Chawkbazar might as well be dubbed “the iftar street”. Throughout the month, the sprawling market in the heart of old Dhaka sell a variety of iftar goodies, starting from peyajus and begunis to chicken parathas and lamb roasts. Customers from all parts of the city come to this spot almost every day to get their hands on their favourite items. The photo was taken yesterday. PHOTO: ANISUR RAHMAN
The metro station in the capital’s Secretariat saw heavy crowds yesterday, as officegoers rushed home for the first iftar of this Ramadan. In most offices, the duty-hours have been cut short for the month of fasting. PHOTO: PRABIR DAS
