Dhaka's Resilient Return: Navigating the Aftermath of Political Turmoil

Dhaka is slowly returning to normal after a wave of anti-government protests led to the ousting of the Sheikh Hasina-led government. Businesses are resuming, but the city still bears traces of rebellion. University students and citizens continue to voice their demands for a more equitable society, even as an interim government tries to restore order.

With metro services resuming, buses and taxis operating, and university students enjoying evening strolls at Curzon Hall, Dhaka is showing signs of normalcy.

Businesses are reopening, but it's far from business as usual in Bangladesh's capital. Just three weeks ago, anti-government protesters filled the streets, culminating in the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led government on August 5 and her subsequent flight to India.

Although the wave of resistance has calmed and an interim government has taken over since August 8, traces of rebellion still linger. In recent days, government employees have held protests, and university students continue to demand the removal of political interference on campus.
