In photos: Here’s how the day progressed so far

It has been an eventful day so far. The day began with Dhaka residents waking up to empty roads, almost no public transports and increased police surveillance all around the city, due to BNP's rally at Golapbagh. There was also presence of Awami League and BCL activists, taking positions in many intersections and areas.

Here are snapshots taken by our photojournalists all around the capital.
