Once upon a time, boats would glide through the waters of Karwan Bazar. Laden with goods -- sacks of rice, fresh vegetables, timber, and pottery -- these boats would anchor at the dock near what is now the Film Development Corporation.

The Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD) recorded 80mm of rain in Dhaka between 6:00am and 9:00am
