Next to the plaque of Mayor Annisul Huq Road in the capital’s Tejgaon area, the illegal truck stand has reared its head again. The late mayor was lauded for being able to clear the street of illegal parking. But now, hundreds of trucks block the road and parts of its pavement, inset, obstructing pedestrians and motorists.

This photo was taken from Zero Point yesterday. Photo: Anisur Rahman
