Dhaka, August 7 — In the aftermath of the student-led uprising that resulted in the resignation of Sheikh Hasina's government, the National Parliament and Ganobhaban areas became sites of public curiosity and gatherings. However, efforts to restore normalcy are now in full swing, thanks to the combined efforts of the army and student volunteers.

From early Wednesday morning, Army personnel have been stationed at key entry points, preventing the public from accessing the Parliament and Ganobhaban areas. This measure comes as a response to the large crowds that had flocked to these sites, turning them into makeshift entertainment venues. 

Concurrently, students have taken the initiative to clean up the area, which had become littered with garbage left behind by the crowds. Various waste items, including water bottles, snack wrappers, and remnants from acts of vandalism, had accumulated in the Parliament vicinity. Students involved in the cleanup expressed their sense of duty, stating, "The country is ours; it is also our responsibility to protect it." They lamented the damage done to important structures, including the National Parliament building, some of which had been vandalized, set on fire, or looted.

Despite the recent unrest, the students are participating in the cleanup with a sense of joy and fulfillment, celebrating the success of their movement. The cleaning activities began on Tuesday morning and continue, reflecting a commitment to maintaining the sanctity of these national landmarks. 

The collaborative efforts between the students and the Army not only aim to restore order but also symbolize a broader commitment to civic responsibility and respect for national institutions.
