Dhaka, Sept 8 (UNB)-Sudden rain in Dhaka may have provided some relief from scorching heat, but for this city, rain also means traffic congestion —worse than it usually is on Thursday evenings.
As a mild heat wave sweeps over parts of Bangladesh, the sun was glaring in the capital from morning.
Unexpectedly around 4 pm, downpours with lightning started cooling off the Dhaka roads. But immediately after that, as it always happens, gridlocks formed on most major roads.
As the work week ends, it added to the severity of traffic woes for Dhaka dwellers.
People were in a hurry to rush back to their homes but the long tailback of vehicles meant they were stuck on the road.
The photos of rain and its repercussions in the form of traffic congestion were captured by UNB photographer Abu Sufiyan Jewel at TSC of Dhaka University and Bangla Motor areas.
