The ones who stayed for some extra cash
Workers who stayed back in Dhaka during Eid-ul-Azha to earn extra cash thronged Gabtoli and nearby areas after 9 pm, waiting for buses to travel back home with their earnings and meat. Despite no shortage of buses at Gabtoli Terminal, around 500-600 workers, including rickshaw pullers, domestic helps, and butchers from outside Dhaka, waited on the streets for cheaper fares to destinations like Bogura, Sirajganj, and Rangpur.
