I cannot go out after noon." Abdus Samad, a rickshaw puller, said, "If I don't work, I won't get food. But it's very difficult to drive a rickshaw in this heat while fasting.
" Meanwhile, the town's roads have been relatively empty due to the heat. Most people have not been venturing out unless necessary. However, daily wage workers, labourers, and small traders said they had no option but to work.
Hasan Ali, a vegetable seller at Chuadanga market, said, "Fewer buyers are coming to the market. People are not going out in the scorching heat. We can't just sit at home.
