Life in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka has returned to normalcy on Sunday since further relaxation of the curfew announced by the government on Saturday.

Some vendors who are selling vegetables in a market of Dhaka told Xinhua that they have enough goods to meet the demand of customers.

They said most of the vegetables' prices are getting lower comparing with the first one or two days when the curfew was imposed.

"As the curfew is only imposed at night, so our business is not affected by the daytime," one vendor said, adding that so the police is now helping to transport the kitchen goods from different districts to Dhaka in an attempt to make sure the market in the capital has sufficient goods to meet the demand of city dwellers.

The Bangladeshi caretaker government announced on Saturday that they would impose a curfew only for 6 hours per day starting from 11:00 p.m. local time on Sunday night.

While addressing the nation on Wednesday, Chief Adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed said, "the curfew is a temporary measure. It will be lifted if the situation improves."

The three-day students movement starting on Monday in Dhaka University caused one people killed and hundreds of others injured.

The government imposed a curfew in capital Dhaka and some other cities since then, and closed all the public universities and colleges in this cities.
