A month after normalcy was affected and life thrown out of gear in Bangladesh, forcing former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to flee the country, students have called for a 'Shaheedi march' on Thursday to commemorate the martyrdom of those who died in the process.

Even though India-Bangladesh bilateral ties are not yet established, trade between the two countries resumed on Wednesday. "After 47 days of uncertainty due to violence, trade between India and Bangladesh has resumed through land port Benapol. Traders from Bangladesh have welcomed the move as there was a shortage of supplies, inflation was high and loss of livelihood," said a source from Dhaka.

Though there is no official word on the resumption of trade with Bangladesh from India, it appears to be the only affirmative news last month.
