A mid-day outdoor scene captures a public protest, specifically a "human chain" (মানববন্ধন), taking place near the Jatiya Press Club in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Approximately 20-25 adult males, predominantly middle-aged to elderly, are arranged in the foreground, collectively holding a large white banner. The banner prominently displays red Bengali text reading "মানববন্ধন" (Human Chain) and green text below it stating "সমিতি ঢাকা" (Dhaka Committee/Association). Event details printed on the banner include "Date: 2 August" (year partially obscured), "Saturday, 10 AM", and "Location: Jatiya Press Club, Dhaka". The banner also features two small landscape images. Several participants hold green placards with white Bengali text; one clearly legible placard states: "ভুলুপুর ভেড়ীর নিষ্কাশন বন্ধ, স্থানীয় জীবন ও জীবিকা রক্ষা করো !!" (Stop the drainage of Bhulupur embankment, protect local lives and livelihoods!!). One individual in the center is actively speaking into a handheld microphone. In the background, a large, grey metal foot overbridge is visible, its supports and underside densely covered with various posters and advertisements. The ground appears to be a paved urban surface. The event is being recorded by a professional video camera positioned on the left and a smartphone mounted on a tripod on the right, both at ground level.
