A rickshaw puller tries to cross the Dhaka-Chittagong highway through an unauthorised opening of the road divider, putting his life at risk as speedy and heavy vehicles like buses and trucks ply this busy thoroughfare. To cut short their travel, pedestrians, bikers and rickshaws often use such gaps created after the road dividers are breached, making the spots prone to accidents. The photo was taken yesterday.
