Heavy rainfalls in Dhaka
Citizens waking with Umbrella on the streets of Dhaka after heavy rainfalls caused by cyclone 'Roanu' in Bangladesh. On May 21, 2016 Rains, caused by cyclone 'Roanu', swamped many parts of the capital on Saturday, living the city life in disarray. Roads in Kakrail, Mouchak, Malibagh, Mirpur, Kazipara, Shewrapara, Motijheel, Shantinagar, Razarbagh, Arambagh, Merul Badda, Elephant Road, Dhanmondi and Paltan areas were submerged, as the city's clogged drains failed to absorb the rainwater. Commuters experienced immense sufferings for lack of transports, and many of them had to wade through the water-logged streets. (Photo by Mamunur Rashid/NurPhoto)
