Thousands, lakhs of people. The streets of Dhaka are shaking with the slogans of millions of people. Around one o'clock, news came in the air that Hasina was resigning. The position of the army became relaxed. In Mirpur 10 of Dhaka, millions of people broke the barricade of the army and marched towards Ganabhaban. As soon as they reached near Bijoy Sarani at two o'clock, two planes were seen flying in the sky one after another. The slogans were chanted, 'She's running away, she's running away, Sheikh Hasina is running away'. The public wins. The protesters became victorious.
