HOUSANDS of low-income people migrate to Dhaka from different corners of the country, looking for a better life. Unfortunately, most of them end up in slums and shanties in the capital which is already stretched to its limits and identified as the second worst livable city in the world.

Danger of accidents barely matters when reality is allready too cruel for them. Photo: Palash Khan
