Most roads around the central business district were opening for traffic on Thursday, but some banks and malls remained closed as a precaution.
Police fired rubber bullets, tear gas and pepper spray at tens of thousands of protesters as they forcibly cleared streets around the city's central business district, leaving at least 72 people hospitalised.
