Dhaka roads see an unusual emptiness

The streets of Dhaka, usually bustling with vehicles, have transformed into a scene of unusual emptiness, as the aftermath of the student uprising cast a shadow of uncertainty. 

No traffic police are present at major intersections, and there is an absence of the usual VIP movements that often bring the city to a standstill.

For over a month, students have led a nationwide movement demanding the resignation of the Sheikh Hasina-led government, resulting in widespread disruptions. 

The student-led revolution has paralysed normal life with the government's collapse, leaving the capital eerily quiet. 

Despite all educational institutions, including government, semi-government, autonomous, semi-autonomous, private institutions, factories, schools, colleges, madrasas and universities of Bangladesh set to open today, there are no traffic jams, a rare sight in a city known for its gridlock, as public and private transport remain largely off the roads.
