We still fear going out at nighttime though there are enough streetlights there. People can roam around and do shopping and others at daytime. Police and army always visit place to place that helps more for the people to feel safe. I personally left my place when there was clash out of fear. This problem should be stopped, and Bangladesh government can make a proper way for it”.
