"People travel on a rickshaw van during yesterday's countrywide hartal as public transports were off the roads. The photo was taken from Moghbazar area in the capital.

If present Government PM Begum Shekh Hasina change the police rule we called Hortal again and again. Police scuffled with protesters and arrested over 100 people yesterday during a daylong hartal called by the main opposition BNP and its key ally Jamaat-e-Islami to protest what they said moves to scrap the constitutional provision of holding parliamentary elections under a non-partisan caretaker government.
Most of the office, market and schools remained closed and traffic was disrupted during the dawn to dusk nationwide hartal, that otherwise passed off without any major violence or clashes. Six home made cocktails went off in parts of the capital, including three in front of BNP's central office at Naya Paltan.
More than 100 police detained are pickets on the capital of Dhaka and elsewhere as opposition activists attempted to take to the streets to enforce the hartal, the fifth such shutdown by BNP since the Awami League-led grand alliance won the parliamentary polls held on December 29, 2008.
