Occupied sidewalks push pedestrians onto roads

Hawkers have taken over all the sidewalks around the BRTC bus stand in Dhaka’s Gulistan, setting up makeshift shops in a way that makes it hard to tell there is even a sidewalk. With no space to walk, pedestrians are forced onto the raods, putting their safety at risk.
