While traveling from Mirpur-10 to Caravan Bazaar at around 8:00 am, this correspondent had to stop only for less than a minute at the Bijoy Sarani signal, a situation in sharp contrast to the typical Sunday morning traffic rush. The entire bike journey took about 15 minutes.
The crowd of office goers at the bus stop was also very less, there was not the usual pressure of passengers in the public buses.
Members of law enforcement agencies were seen on alert at various points including Mirpur-10, Kazipara, Shewrapara, Bijoy Sarani and Farmgate areas. However, there was no presence of BNP members on the streets.
