Tearful Farewell to a Mayor

(Clockwise from top left) Mosleh Uddin Bhuiyan Stadium in Narsingdi full to the brim yesterday during the janaza of Lokman Hossain, mayor of Narsingdi municipality. Smoke billows from a fire set by agitators on Narsingdi Railway Station protesting the gun attack on the mayor. Long queues of vehicles on Dhaka-Sylhet Highway due to a barricade put up by Awami League activists. Consequently, passengers of the stuck vehicles resort to carrying their luggage overhead while walking their way out of the blockade towards their destinations.
