Traffic control is a humdrum job at the best of times and many of Dhaka's usual wardens are known for a casual indifference to aggressive drivers zooming by out of turn. Protests had been largely peaceful until police attempted to violently disperse them, setting in motion the chain of events that led to the end of Hasina's iron-fisted 15-year tenure.
Police unions declared a national strike on Tuesday"until the security" of officers was assured, and a new police chief apologised for the conduct of officers under his sacked predecessor. Farida Akhter, a member of the interim government tasked with steering democratic reforms, told AFP that restoring law and order was the"first priority" of the new dispensation.
