When Shampa’s husband died a year ago, she was left to fend for herself, her 13-year-old son and two-year-old daughter. All she had at her disposal was a rickshaw-van with which her husband used to sell seasonal fruits. As her son now pulls the rickshaw-van from the front, Shampa pushes from the back, sitting her infant daughter at the back of the van. It’s not an easy life, but the family is back up on their feet selling fruits the way Shampa’s husband used to do. The photo was taken yesterday from the capital’s Tejgaon. Photo: Prabir Das
