Awami League President Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post of Prime Minister on Monday (August 5) and left the country due to the situation arising out of the ‘March to Dhaka’ program called by the anti-discrimination student movement. Soon after receiving this news, the excited and excited crowd started celebrating and vandalizing, looting and setting fire to various places. On this day, many policemen lost their lives in the attacks of miscreants in various police stations and establishments of the country. The policemen are on strike in protest. The presence of traffic police was not seen on the streets of the capital.
On Tuesday (August 6), no traffic police were seen on the streets of different areas of the capital. As a result, the students and the crowd have taken the responsibility of controlling the traffic on their shoulders. This image was seen at many populated intersections including Gulshan, Mohakhali, Vijay Sarani, Shahbagh, Kakrail, Asad Gate, Mohammadpur.
The presence of vehicles in the city was seen more today than in the last few days. In the city’s Vijay Sarani, a few students were seen performing traffic police duties with sticks in hand. These volunteers leave the car at regular intervals. Students are playing a great role in traffic control.
Mohammadpur Government College student Sohel Rana and his friend Saimum Hossain are handling the traffic at Asad Gate. The flag of Bangladesh is tied on their heads. They are controlling the traffic with small sticks.
Sohail Rana told RisingBD that there is no traffic police on the roads. Since we have cleared a mess, we can also fix this traffic system.
The people of the city are happy with such role of students. A passerby named Swapan standing at Mohammadpur bus stand said, how beautifully these boys are performing the duties of the traffic police. After two minutes they leave the cars on each side of the road. There is no trouble anywhere, rather these school-college boys are doing better than the traffic police.
Talked with DU student Yasmin Jahan in Shah Bagh. He said, the traffic system can be changed if desired. Look how well everyone is obeying the law on the road. You can if you want. But, no one wants to obey the law. Corruption has penetrated the entire country. Everyone has to get out of it. I don’t think it is impossible even if it takes time.
