٠٠:٠٢:٤٧Police officers returned to work to burnt down and heavily damaged offices in Dhaka following weeks of deadly protests. Fifty-two police stations in the capital have resumed operations since Sunday.
Footage recorded at Dhaka's Paltan police station on Monday shows officers managing duties in burnt down building and escorting arrested individuals through the blackened corridors with shattered windows.
"Public service activities have started in our police stations, and it is ongoing. Service seekers come to the police station, and we listen to their problems and try to solve them [...] We are taking appropriate measures after listening to them," an inspector said.
"I saw on the road that the traffic police have returned to work. People are relieved. Now our law and order will be back normal, movement of people will be facilitated. Returning to police work is certainly happy news for us," added a resident.
Hasina quit last week and fled the country after weeks of anti-government protests, triggered by student demonstrations against the quota system for government jobs. Under the system, a third of public sector jobs were reserved for relatives of those who served in the 1971 independence war, while many called for a new merit-based approach.
Violent clashes ensued and over 40 people were reported killed, before demonstrators stormed Hasina's official residence and other government buildings.
She had been in power for 15 years. President Mohammed Shahabuddin held talks with parties, the military and protesters, before naming Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus as interim leader.
