The capital Dhaka city has worn a deserted look amid the growing concern over the coronavirus outbreak. There are no movement of people and transports as well. All the terminals and stations of bus, launch and train are empty now. The photo was taken on Monday from in front of the country’s biggest railway station named Kamalapur Railway Station, which usually remains overcrowded with people, where no one is seen there.

Earlier on March 23, the government declared a 10-day general holiday and a large number of city dwellers left the city. The fear of COVID-19 and the holiday prompted Dhaka dwellers to leave the capital city ahead of suspension of the public transport services.
