To mark the first anniversary of the ouster of the former authoritarian government, over a hundred colorful helicopter-shaped balloons were released into the sky at Manik Mia Avenue. Organizers stated the event was meant to commemorate the exact moment of Sheikh Hasina’s departure from power last year. The celebration peaked at 2:25 PM with the crowd chanting “No fear, only victory.” The event was tightly secured and coordinated by volunteers, with each batch of balloons released in a structured, timely manner under the watchful eyes of the security forces.
