In Dhaka, following the political upheaval that led to the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, students have stepped in to manage traffic amidst a vacuum left by police forces who were initially reluctant to return to duty. This initiative began on August 5 after Hasina fled to India, during a period marked by widespread protests and violence. While the students' involvement has garnered praise, they acknowledge a decrease in their numbers as police resume their roles, with some students expressing a desire to return to their studies. The protests that sparked this situation were originally aimed at changing a quota system but escalated into broader demands for democratic reforms. Reports indicate ongoing efforts by students not only to manage traffic but also to clean the streets and assist in public safety. The interim government led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus is now in place, prompting hopes for a more stable political climate and potential elections.
