The sorry state of the railings along the footpath beside Ramna Park on the Shahbagh-Matsya Bhaban stretch of Moulana Bhashani Road. The metal-and-concrete railings were erected to prevent jaywalking and enhance beauty of the thoroughfare. But petty criminals and drug addicts have systematically dismantled sections of the 200-metre fence over the years to sell its metallic parts for money. Photo: Anisur Rahman
