DHAKA DELUGED BY DOWNPOUR is the headlines in the Daily Star today!
Dhaka city dwellers had to endure ankle to knee-deep water in many areas yesterday as torrential downpour flooded many streets since Monday.
On Monday: 1 3/4 inches (44 mm) in 5 hours
On Tuesday: 1.8 inches (30 mm)
On Wednesday: 2.28 inches (58 mm) in 6 hours
Of course rain brings out the umbrellas. This lad is still smiling.
EID MUBARAK to all my Muslim friends! I hope you all are having a good time with your families either in Dhaka, or in your villages.
Here are the flags near the Parliament Building put for this special day, which comes right after Ramadan (the month of fasting).
BLACK-TOPPING EQUIPMENT
Here beside Asad Avenue is the black-topping equipment ready to resurface the street where needed due to the recent laying of new drainage pipes.
JATIO SANGSHAD BHABAN the Parliament House of Bangladesh is one of the twentieth century’s utmost architectural structures. This stunning building was designed by famous architect Louis Kahn. It was made of mostly concrete and marble showing a rich blend of ancient and modern architecture. Use of different geometrical shape and floating outlook are some unique attractions of this glorious creation
Today September 11 brings back some sad memories for the world. I’m glad for the good relations between Bangladesh and the U.S.A.
STREET SWEEPER in action on street beside the Parliament building. Years ago some Hindus were brought into the city to sweep the streets because they were of the caste of street-sweepers. Since this job pays better than some and there are so many jobless, others are applying for these jobs. This basically takes away some of the job security they used to have because no one else wanted to do this menial job. Each morning the whole city gets swept. They do a great job, which must be done again day after day!
