Nishan Robi Das, a seventh grader of Wari High School, struggling to fill up his form for the Covid-19 shots, being administered to schoolchildren aged 12-17, in front of the capital’s Viqarunnisa Noon School and College yesterday.

These three heritage steamers push through the water with large wheels, just like in the old times. Owned by BIWTA, they’re docked at the Buriganga, near Babubazar Bridge. However, they get to run only once or twice a year. As hyacinths grow all around them, they’re at risk of catching rust and decaying over time. This photo was taken yesterday. Photo: Anisur Rahman
Conch shells lying around Cox’s Bazar beach may not be that big in size, but a lot of them together is enough to run Asma Begum’s family.
