Refusing to be silenced by violence, Dhaka-based cultural organisation Bangladesh Udichi Shilpigoshthi has resumed work from the pavement outside its torched office, not waiting for repairs and reconstruction. Undeterred, members have shifted their activities to the open space outside the building, near the Bangladesh Secretariat Metro railway station. ADVERTISEMENT“We have decided to start working from the pavement outside our office,” said Rahman Mofiz, assistant general secretary of Udichi. Managing these centres involves regular office work and that too will now be done from the pavement office. “Earlier, there was a token protest,” said Laisa Ahmed, general secretary of Chhayanot.
