The headlights were turned on earlier than usual on Dhaka streets yesterday as a nor’wester soaked the city in the afternoon, providing relief from the heat while also leading to traffic jams amid the busy shopping season.

Back in business... The Dhaka New Market is back to its usual self after an abrupt two-day closure. It is packed with Eid shoppers on the weekend yesterday as they go from one shop to another in search of dresses, footwear and ornaments. The market remained shut Tuesday and Wednesday following clashes between shopkeepers and Dhaka College students. Photo: Anisur Rahman
Jaywalkers, including one with two children, squeeze through a gap in the railing on the central reservation of Mirpur Road. Such pedestrians dodge vehicles while darting across busy roads, putting themselves and motorists in harm’s way. The photo was taken in the capital’s Nur Jahan Super Market area yesterday.
