Description:
Hundreds of confiscated rickshaws and other vehicles are dumped inside the Police pound situated in the city's Agargaon area. Most of the vehicles are later on released to their owners in lieu of a fine, except the rickshaws. Surprising though it may seem the money required in the process of securing a rickshaw's release would be sufficient to buy a new one. So, in most cases the poor rickshaw-pullers can never hope to use their rickshaws again, once they have been confiscated by the traffic police. Dhaka, Bangladesh. October 7, 2007.
