The agitating students are carrying out a complete shutdown program across the country on Thursday (July 18).
Even under this program, buses are running in limited form on various roads of the capital. However, there are very few private cars on the roads. This image was seen in Gulistan and surrounding areas of the capital on Thursday (July 18) afternoon.
Gulistan Assam Mohammad Mubarak Hossain from Narayanganj said, I left my house in Jhalkuri of Narayanganj at 7 am. I came to Postogola by rickshaw. From there I came to Gulistan. Go to Elephant Road from Gulistan. Saw some buses leaving from Gulistan to different areas.
He said that people who went out for urgent work are suffering today. Besides, office goers are also suffering. Among these, women have suffered more. Even if two or four buses come, the women push the crowd but they are unable to get on. I saw many people going to their destinations by rickshaws, CNG-powered autorickshaws or on foot without getting a bus.
Talk to Josna Zaman in front of GPO. He said, my home is Keraniganj. I work in a private company in Kakrail. There is no leave as instructed by the office. I came to the office struggling to decide what else to do.
Meanwhile, police and Awami League leaders and activists of various organizations were seen on the Fulbaria Bangshal GPO Baitul Mukarram road in Sani of the capital today.
