The opposition BNP has called a dawn-to-dusk hartal protesting the attacks on its grand rally at Naya Paltan on Sunday.
The day saw several incidents of arson and vandalism, prompting heightened vigilance from law enforcement agencies.
Meanwhile, a small number of vehicles were seen plying the streets in Dhaka, which caused immense suffering to the passengers and office-goers.
The photos were taken by Dhaka Tribune photographer Mehedi Hasan on Sunday.
