Dhaka streets remained mostly empty this morning (4 August), the first day of the non-cooperation movement announced by the Anti-discrimination Students Movement.
Meanwhile, the Bangladesh Awami League-led 14-party alliance announced a rally in front of AL’s office at the capital’s Bangabandhu Avenue as part of their week-long programmes against BNP’s “terrorism and anarchy” in the name of the movement.
Ahead of both protests, shops in most of Dhaka, including those in Basabo, Ahmedabad, Dhanmondi, Sobhanbagh, Panthapath and Mohammadpur, remained shut.
No long-haul buses left Sayedabad.
