Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus has arrived in Dhaka to take on the role of interim leader, stressing the urgent need for rebuilding the nation.

His appointment comes after former leader Sheikh Hasina fled to India amidst deadly student-led protests. The decision to appoint Yunus, backed by President Mohammed Shahabuddin and student leaders, aims to restore democracy in Bangladesh after years of authoritarian rule.

Yunus highlighted the importance of discipline and hard work as the country looks forward to new opportunities.
