Police stop vehicles on Airport Road near the Balaka Bhaban yesterday and check to see if people entering deeper into the capital had legitimate reason to be out.

Boatloads of watermelons arrive in the capital’s Badamtoli Ghat from different districts across the country yesterday. The summer fruit used to have heavy demand and a large one would sell for Tk 300 or even more. But now, due to the coronavirus outbreak, demand has dropped. Traders were seen trying to sell large ones for Tk 180, but no one was buying. Photo: Anisur Rahman
