A mother and father try to shield their terrified baby from protesting battery-run rickshaw pullers in the capital’s Agargaon yesterday afternoon. The group of protesters stopped the rickshaw they were on and began harassing the puller, who was taking the family to the pharmacy to buy medicine for the child.

Over a year ago, a part of this residential building was knocked down during an eviction drive to reclaim an old channel of the Buriganga in the capital’s Kamrangirchar. With no repairs made since then, people are still residing in the building, exposing themselves to potential danger. The photo was taken on Sunday. Photo: Rashed Shumon
