Clean water by the side of the road

People are queuing up on the footpath in front of the Bangabhaban Colony’s No. 5 gate on Dhaka’s Ittefaq Intersection to collect drinking water. Pedestrians can stop for a drink. Locals also fill up their bottles and drums every day. The line can get quite long due to the high demand.
