A rain-soaked sparrow perches on a branch, unable to fly. Two days of rain in Khulna have left many birds stranded with their nests washed away and no place to shelter. This photo was taken at the city’s Shibbari intersection yesterday.

A one-kilometre stretch of the Khulna-Jashore highway has been under repair for about a month. With the entire section dug up, rains have turned the road into a muddy mess, forcing locals and travellers to abandon vehicles and wade through the sludge. The photo was taken in the Chengutia Urtola area on Monday.
