After leading the movement against discrimination, students of all ages have now started working towards building a new Bangladesh. From cleaning the streets to controlling market syndicates, working at the place of traffic police, creating graffiti on walls, they are participating in all these activities. 

The Lal Sabuj Society has always been active in social service activities. As usual, their neon-coloured attire can be seen shining brightly in the alleys of Bangladesh. 

A team of 15 members from the Lal Sabuj Society was seen creating graffiti on the walls in front of the Parliament building in Dhaka. 

Besides Dhaka, graffiti work is also being done in other parts of the country. One of the most beautiful roads in Barishal, Raja Bahadur Road, also bears the marks of the movement. To restore the road to its former condition and enhance the beauty of the walls, a team of 20 members from the Lal Sabuj Society carried out graffiti work. 

Volunteers from the Lal Sabuj Society are also performing traffic duties in their eye-catching neon-colored uniforms. A team of 7 members was responsible for traffic at the Pyara Chattar, the heart of Rangpur. They shared their experiences, mentioning that they didn’t even have time to eat while on traffic duty. A kind lady prepared and delivered khichuri from her home for the volunteers. 

After volunteers helped an elderly woman to cross the road, she spent some time talking with the volunteers. She shared that she had lost her son in this movement. As she spoke, she became emotional, saying that although she lost her son, she finds him in these young volunteers. She said she prays wholeheartedly for the new Bangladesh that these young people are building. 

Members of the Lal Sabuj Society have been seen performing traffic police duties in various cities, including Dhaka, Gazipur, and Barishal. 

Every day, a group of Lal Sabuj Society members engages in market monitoring activities. They receive necessary training in advance to control syndicates. 

After the movement ended, one of the major issues that emerged was the anarchy towards Hindus in society. The Lal Sabuj Society took action by checking on both small and large temples and Hindu neighborhoods, inquiring about their needs and challenges. They also provided the necessary contact numbers for the military. 

In Barishal, during the movement, a teacher from Barishal Government Women’s College, Israt Jahan Lepe, became known for standing by the students. She became a beloved figure among them. On August 10th, this teacher visited the Lal Sabuj Society’s office and shared her experiences. She discussed with the members the possibilities of building a new Bangladesh. 

In the expectation of all young people working together to tackle the current situation, the Lal Sabuj Society organized a “Youth Leadership for Unity Assembly.” The assembly was held under the theme, “Let us unite in times of crisis, to build a secular state together.” Following this assembly, on August 11th, the Chattogram team of the Lal Sabuj Society, consisting of 45 volunteers, conducted a discussion and gathered public opinions on the topic from Kazir Dewri to Radisson Blue to Muktomoncho, including a stand-by showdown by the roadside. The discussion highlighted the youth’s responsibilities toward the state on issues such as violence, equality, secularism, and the rights of indigenous people. On the same day, 35 members participated in this assembly at Gaibandha Government College. 

On August 12th, after a week-long strike, when the traffic police resumed their duties, the members of the Lal Sabuj Society welcomed them with flowers and expressed their gratitude. 

The Lal Sabuj Society has not only taken action themselves but has also inspired others and assisted other volunteers, earning praise from all quarters. Atika/lss
