Children are having a good time frolicking in the water flowing through the sluice gate on Hatirjheel Lake in the capital. They were so enjoying this that they did not even care about how dirty the water looked. The photo was taken around 12:00pm yesterday. Photo: Palash Khan
Toys-R-Yours, a community based initiative by the Ex-Cadets' Forum, recommences its endeavour to collect toys through campaigns at corporate, educational institutions and from individuals to distribute among the underprivileged street children.

A road flooded with dirty and smelly sewerage water in the capital's Maya Kanon area, also in front of the residence of a former councillor, late Manju, on Wednesday. This happens every day because of a blockage in the underground sewer. In many parts of the capital, waterlogging is simply caused by broken or blocked pipelines, while the city corporation's timely intervention could improve situations. Photo: Sk Enamul Haq
Construction of Aktaruzzaman Chowdhury Flyover going on at Dampara of Chittagong city Wednesday night. To protect pedestrians and passing vehicles against harms, hazardous works are done at night although the site has been fenced off, unlike in the capital where a worker died Wednesday after being hit by an iron bar that fell off the under-construction Moghbazar flyover. However, in November 2012, a girder collapse at the site of now completed Bahaddarhat Flyover had killed four people in the port city. Photo: Anurup Kanti Das
A rickshaw garage occupying the footpath on Gaznabi Road in the capital's Mohammadpur begs the question: for what and for whom this footpath is anyway? The photo was taken yesterday. Photo: Amran Hossain
