Midday Brief, Saturday, February 2, 2019

At first sight, they look like vehicles from post-apocalyptic movies. With no doors, no working headlights, no rearview mirrors, no registration plates and no indicators to say the least, these rundown improvised human hauliers transport people between Jurain-Postogola and Dhaka match factory area in Narayanganj. About 70 such vehicles ply the route, according to sources at the Postogola stand where this photo was taken on February 1, 2019. Photo: STAR/ Anisur Rahman
