Locals have built a makeshift bridge with bamboo scaffolding next to a broken bridge on the Bhulli river in Nilphamari Sadar upazila so that they can at least cross on foot. The bridge, which links more than five lakh people of Dinajpur’s Khansama upazila with Niphamari town, was damaged beyond repair during a flood in 2017. The photo was taken recently.

Rough sea conditions due to a depression have forced fishermen to moor their boats and trawlers ashore. Meanwhile, they are catching up on other necessary work, like preparing the nets, before going out to the Bay once it is calm. The photo was taken yesterday at Chattogram city’s Fishery Ghat area.

Three women and two children crammed onto a rickshaw in the capital’s Tejgaon area. Having more than two passengers on a rickshaw, and that too on a busy road, could make way for fatal accidents. None of them were wearing masks; neither was the passenger in the pick-up next to them. The photo was taken recently. Photo:
