The demand for handheld fans has marked a sharp rise throughout the country as a mild to moderate heat wave has been sweeping through various parts of the country for the past several weeks. Amid this situation, the seasonal business of palm-leaf fans has also increased. In the photo, a seasonal businessman is seen carrying a cluster of handheld fans made from palm leaf to sell them at retail shops in the capital’s Dhaka University area. The photo was taken from Doel Chattar of the campus on Friday.
