It's a wonder that this vehicle, which appears to have come out of a post apocalyptic movie set, still can run on the street and carry people from Mirpur-14 to Manikdi in the capital. Such rundown human hauliers are often seen on the city roads but the authorities appear not to be noticing them. It is mandatory for a vehicle to go through fitness check-up every year and have its fitness certificate renewed. The photo was taken recently. Photo: STAR/ Palash Khan
