INUNDATED TOO EASILY

In only three hours, yesterday’s downpour devoured the capital’s roads, forcing commuters in many areas to wade knee-deep water by any means necessary. Half-submerged cars were seen struggling through the waves, ultimately splashing others in the way, while some climbed on rickshaw-vans to avoid the muddy water. Those who had no access to vehicles, just lifted their clothes, hoped for the best and walked to their destination, while city corporation workers were seen trying to clear up the clog. The photos were taken from Dhanmondi, Green Road, and Tejgaon areas. Photo: Rashed Shumon, Anisur Rahman, Palash Khan and Prabir Das
