Illegal battery-run rickshaws, locally known as easy bikes, being charged at a garage in the capital's airport area recently. At least 40 such three-wheelers get charged there every day for Tk 80-100 each. The illegal charging consumes electricity, the dearth of which puts many areas of the country in the dark in the form of load shedding. Photo: Anisur Rahma
