Eid shopping in Dhaka
Shoppers flouting social distancing rules as Eid shopping gains pace
People out on Eid shopping at markets and shops in Dhaka are too reluctant about maintaining the recommended physical distance to protect themselves and others from coronavirus infection.
Traders said they frequently request customers to maintain the health guidelines but their words fall on deaf ears.
While visiting several city markets on Friday, this correspondent saw hundreds of people flocking to different shops at Dhanmondi Hawkers Market, Noor Mansion Shopping Centre, New Super Market, shops at Elephant Road, Gulistan, Lalbagh Fort and footpaths.
