As fuel is no longer sold in jerrycans, people are bringing generators and irrigation machines to collect diesel from the pumps in Rajshahi. Most pumps remain closed, while queues stretch 1.5km to 2km long at four to five that are open. Some people complained that they did not get fuel even after lining up from 3:00am. This photo was taken at Gul Gafur Petrol Pump in the city yesterday. Photo: Azahar Uddin

After potatoes were destroyed by stagnant rainwater, farmers of Shibganj upazila in Bogura and neighbouring Kalai upazila in Joypurhat faced a double whammy. They planted paddy over the unharvested potatoes, but the new crop has also failed. This photo was taken in Shibganj yesterday. Photo: Mostafa Shabuj
