Home-goers unstoppable
Risking his life, a man leaps on to a ferry that left the pontoon yesterday. He managed to escape an accident by inches. Like him, many others crossing the mighty Padma are taking risks to attend Eid with their families. The photo was taken at Shimulia Ferry Ghat around 1:00pm yesterday.

The ban on inter-district buses and restrictions on public movement could not stop the mad rush of homebound people, as thousands made arduous journeys yesterday to celebrate the Eid with their loved ones amid the pandemic.
Braving inclement weather, the holidaymakers, mostly garments workers, left the capital and its adjacent areas for their village homes following the closure of factories ahead of the Eid-ul-Fitr.
