A man transporting pineapples on his bicycle, from Jangalia to Jalchhatra Bazar at Madhupur, Tangail, to sell them yesterday. In one trip, a farmer or a hired cyclist carries 100 pineapples. The use of bicycles to transport the famous fruit of the upazila has declined in recent years amid the rise of battery-run auto-rickshaws. Photo: Orchid Chakma
Rather than stopping at the level crossing as the gateman began lowering the barriers, battery-run rickshaws and a motorcycle sped across, putting themselves at risk of being run over by the train. They became trapped between the two gates just as the train approached. The photo was taken at the Ambagan railgate area in Chattogram city yesterday. PHOTO: RAJIB RAIHAN
