The day after in Dhaka: Young people replace police in Bangladesh capital

Al Jazeera  

The city’s streets, now under the care of civilian traffic cops and property guards, tell a story of overnight destruction. “Otherwise, the situation will spiral out of control.” ‘We will leave no trace of the Awami League’ On Tuesday morning, the talk of the town was who would head the interim government. However, in the upscale Dhanmondi area, crowds continued to gather at the remains of the Awami League chairperson’s office, the Bangabandhu Museum and Hasina’s former residence, Sudha Sadan. “We will leave no trace of the Awami League in the country,” a young man, who declined to give his name, told Al Jazeera while he struck the building with a hammer. Abdus Shakur, a motor mechanic who spent Monday night awake in front of Dhaka’s Dhakeshwari temple, told Al Jazeera that citizen volunteers would ensure no vandalism, communal violence or crimes occur in the absence of police or law enforcement.
