October 11, 2022, Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh: A fleet of wooden boats, which resemble the petals of flower, waits to ferry commuters across the Buriganga River to jobs at a major river port in Dhaka, Bangladesh while boatmen tie the boats together in a flowery pattern and get forty winks ahead of the afternoon rush hour. They work 16 hours a day and get less than £5 for this. So, they take rest whenever they get a chance to relieve the fatigue of the long working hours. During that time, most of the boats are tied up together except a few ones and the number of passengers is lower compared to the rush hour. The wooden vessels are used to transport workers from the outskirts of the city to their jobs in the centre. The Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, is one of the most densely populated in the world and home to nearly 19 million people. (Credit Image: © Joy Saha/ZUMA Press Wire)
