On the day of duelling rallies by the country's two main political parties, an air of anxiety permeated the streets of Dhaka city. While rickshaws and autorickshaws are available, there's a dearth of cars. Desperate commuters were seen at various junctures, waiting in the hope of finding transportation. Police maintained a vigilant presence at key intersections throughout the city. The BNP is set to stage a mass rally in Naya Paltan in the afternoon to press for the formation of a non-partisan caretaker government to oversee the upcoming national election.
