New Delhi: As reports of the targeting of minorities continue to emanate from Bangladesh in the absence of security forces, students have reportedly hit the streets yet again to maintain law and order. Reports in the Bangladesh media said while the police forces have gone missing from the streets of Dhaka and adjoining areas, students have taken on “security duties at various police stations, churches and temples”. Bangladesh Army chief Gen. Waker-Uz-Zaman told the Bangladeshi media that the situation would return to normal in a couple of days. As an uneasy calm prevailed over riot-torn Bangladesh, the local media, students’ outfits and the intelligentsia have come down heavily on attacks on minority establishments across the country. However, the Bangladesh TV channels continue to report that with police forces missing from Dhaka and adjoining areas, the students have taken on “security duties”.
