Rickshaws block the walkway on the side of Banani lake COURTESYHas Covid-19 changed people’s attitudes towards cleanliness and hygiene? I had hoped, vainly it seems, that given the hygiene messages during the months of Covid-19, the attitude of people would change. The media reports that people at Farmgate or Gulistan are being fined by magistrates when found to be without masks. However, over 100 rickshaws still occupy and block the walkway on the Banani side of the lake. Julian Francis has been associated with relief and development activities of Bangladesh since the War of Liberation.
