Winter is the season of vegetables. Like elsewhere, varieties of green goodness have started appearing in markets in Sylhet. Locals say despite adequate supply, the price is too high. This photo of vendors arranging vegetables was taken at the city’s Rikabibazar market yesterday, where a kg of cauliflower, cucumber, bitter gourd, okra and tomato was being sold between Tk 65 and Tk 80.

Though the month of Poush is generally celebrated in the city, it brings immense misery for some. A man sleeps on a plank with a loose nail dangerously close to his face at Dhaka’s Hatirjheel early yesterday morning, with only a thin blanket to keep out the biting cold. Meanwhile, a jogger, dressed appropriately for the weather, runs past him. Photo: Amran Hossain
