Traffic police back to work after one week

Traffic police have started performing duties on various roads in the capital from Monday morning, after about one week of work abstention due to insecurity after the fall of Hasina government on August 05, reports UNB.
Students were seen managing traffic on the roads in the capital and other parts of the country in the last few days.
Members of the traffic police are taking responsibility of traffic management from them on Monday.
Traffic police have been present on different roads of the capital since morning. They were seen on duty at Dhanmondi , Shahbagh, Farmgate, Khamarbari, Karwan Bazar, Shantionagr and Malibagh intersections.
Anisur Rahman, an employee of a private organisation, said, "It's a relief for city dwellers that traffic police have returned to work.
Students did great job by controlling traffic in the last few days, but it should not continue for a long time, there was risk for the young students."
Ansar members and students were also seen helping to maintain discipline on roads.
After the fall of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in a student-led mass upsurge, various police stations across the country were attacked and vandalised.
Since then, the police personnel went on a work abstention for security reasons.
On Sunday Home Affairs Adviser Brigadier General (retd) M Sakhawat Hossain asked police to return to work by Thursday.
He said those who do not return to work by Thursday will be assumed to be unwilling to work.
