Rail tracks turn into marketplace in Jurain

Ignoring railway restrictions, temporary stalls are set up daily on the rail tracks in Dhaka’s Jurain. With Eid-ul-Fitr approaching, the number of stalls has increased sharply. Vendors sell clothes, fruits, and food items, raising concerns over potential accidents when trains pass through the area.
