Fishermen carry a variety of fish, including loitta, shrimp, and rupchanda, ready for processing and cleaning. Since the fishing ban ended on June 12, they have returned to sea to resume their livelihoods. However, unfavourable weather has hindered their ability to meet expected catch targets. The photo was taken at Fishery Ghat in Chattogram yesterday. Photo: Rajib Raihan
Once one of Dhaka’s oldest and most notable canals, the Khilgaon canal has now turned into a dumping ground for plastic waste and garbage. Years of neglect have led to its steady decline. The photo was taken from the Khilgaon Amtala Mosque area yesterday. Photo: Palash Khan
For seven years, the Wasa Road in the Munshi Bari area of North Jurain has remained in a deplorable state due to continued negligence by the Dhaka South City Corporation. In the absence of a functioning drainage system, even light rain causes dirty water to flood the road, causing residents to suffer immensely -- particularly schoolchildren and office-goers. The area is under Ward 51 of the DSCC. The photo was taken yesterday. Photo: Anisur Rahman
A bailey bridge over the Mallbari canal in Pirojpur’s Indurkandi upazila collapsed early yesterday as a coal-laden truck attempted to cross, halting vehicular movement. The Roads and Highway Department had put up warning signs at both ends of the bridge, marking it as “risky”. Moreover, locals claim the vehicle was carrying several times the weight that the bridge was designed to support. The photo shows people perilously crossing the collapsed bridge.
