This worker is busy dismantling a boat, which was earlier used for helping people cross the Padma River, at a dockyard by the river Buriganga at Char Kaliganj in Dhaka on Sunday (26 February 2023). People dependent on such vessels for a livelihood saw a significant drop in their income after the opening of Padma Bridge, leading many of them to switch the profession while owners are selling the boats as scrap metal after dismantling. — FE photo by Shafiqul Alam
