A graveyard for battery-powered rickshaws

A vast swathe on the northern side of the Postogola Bridge in Dhaka has become a dumping ground for vehicles seized by traffic police. Battery-powered rickshaws make up the overwhelming majority. Seized for various traffic violations, including operating illegally on major roads, many of these vehicles remain there for months, gradually deteriorating.
