Flower traders take up the footpath and a sizeable portion of the road to process newly-arrived lots at Shahbagh, a major flower hub in the capital, yesterday morning, leaving little space for vehicular traffic and pedestrian movement. The situation often triggers traffic congestion in one of the busiest areas in the city. However, the authories neither take any action against the traders, nor relocate the flower market to another place. Photo: Prabir Das
