Workers lay a sea of red chillies out to dry in the hot sun. Around 50 to 70 tonnes of the chillies are dried in the 33 degree heat, whilst employees use umbrellas to shield themselves from the soaring temperatures. The photos were taken by photographer Ismail Hossain in the town of Sariakandi, in the Bogra district of Bangladesh. Mr Hossain said: "After they are dried the chillies are sold to distributors across the country. Despite their hard work, the workers aren't paid enough - especially considering the heat they have to work in." Please byline: Ismail Hossain/Solent News ??
