Another 48-hour nationwide blockade of road, rail and waterway, called by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its allies in the ongoing movement began on Sunday morning amid fear of violence.
The latest blockade started from 6:00am on Sunday and will end at 6:00am on Tuesday.
The opposition parties have already observed blockades in six phases to mount pressure on the Awami League government to quit power and hold the next general election under a non-partisan administration.
As with the previous blockades, the presence of law enforcers at several points of Dhaka is high.
The number of public transport on Dhaka roads was adequate on the day and people were seen heading to their destinations despite heightened tension and fear of violence.
Rickshaws were dominating Dhaka streets while some private vehicles were also seen plying the streets.
Vehicles of media outlets, ambulances and vehicles transporting oxygen cylinders and medicines will remain out of the purview of the blockade.
Miscreants set a bus on fire in Kumargaon of Sylhet city on Saturday night ahead of the 48-hour blockade.
