Hundreds of Bangladeshi Muslims gather on an open field in Dhaka to pray for rain after the metropolis of 20 million people recorded its hottest day in almost 60 years
Rains are expected later in April, just before the Muslim world celebrates Eid al Fitr, according to meteorologists.
Police said more than 500 worshippers congregated on Monday at the Aftabnagar playing ground, where popular TV cleric Shaikh Ahmadullah led the prayers. The rains that usually fall in April and May have failed to materialise this year and the country has been gripped by unusually hot weather since April 4, Afroza Sultana from the Meteorology Department told AFP.
