The Anti-Discrimination Student Movement’s “March to Dhaka” programme is scheduled to be held today (Monday) although curfew was slapped from 6pm on Sunday due to widespread violence.

The students’ platform rescheduled their March programme to Monday in the wake of unprecedented violence centring the peoples’ one-point demand for the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The violence left nearly 100 people dead and over 1000 injured.

The presence of the general people on Dhaka streets was thin as of filing this report around 10am.

However, law enforcement agencies including Bangladesh Army equipped with Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) were seen taking position at several important points of the capital.

The presence of public transport on the streets is very low. However some rickshaws, autorickshaws and CNG-run autorickshaws were seen operating.

The coordinators of the movement urged the students and people across the country to joint it.
