UNDER-CONSTRUCTION DRAIN A man walking on a plank of wood, placed over an under-construction drain, to enter a building on Paschim Biren Ghosh Street in Old Dhaka’s Chawkbazar area yesterday. The Dhaka South City Corporation authorities started the construction nearly three months ago, but locals said the work was progressing slowly. In this situation, people in the area are suffering. The sharp iron rods left there also pose danger to them. Photo: Rashed Shumon/Star
