The photo was taken in the capital's Shahbagh yesterday. Flower traders in the area said the sale of such replicas of boat shot up after the AL secured a landslide victory in Sunday's polls.Photo: Palash Khan

A woman sifting through medical waste while her two daughters look on at a dump site in Sylhet's Dakshin Surma upazila. Every day, Sylhet City Corporation authorities collect such garbage from hospitals and dump those here. Ragpickers from nearby areas sort out the recyclable ones without gloves or any other safety gears, exposing themselves to infections and diseases. They then sell those to local scrap dealers. The photos were taken recently. Photo: Sheikh Nasir
