A car making an illegal U-turn on the Moghbazar level crossing in the capital yesterday. There is a designated place for U-turns only a few yards ahead. Such manoeuvres are dangerous as this forces vehicles to stop on the level crossing. Photo: Anisur Rahman

In a moment of spontaneous innovation, Lalbagh’s Altaf Ali adjoined his van with the front-half of a motorbike to help run it faster.

Right outside the premises of Abahani field, an arrangement of exotic and local flowers, decorative plants ornate with colourful leaves can be noticed.

This photo was taken yesterday from Satmasjid road. Photo: Rashed Shumon
