Roadside shopping

Roadside stores occupy most of the space in front of hospitals at the capital's Sher-e-Bangla Nagar area, which is home to a number of major hospitals, including the Shishu Hospital and NITOR. While the stores take a lot of space on the roads, patients say they are able to get necessary things from the roadside vendors. PHOTO: MD JAHIDUL ISLAM
