NCP leaders have resumed their journey to Habiganj after a brief police blockade in Sylhet’s Moulvibazar was lifted.

Amid heightened political tension, the leaders left the Moulvibazar Circuit House shortly after 4pm on Wednesday.

Police stopped their convoy at Sreemangal’s Tea Maiden.

After being held there for nearly half an hour, the vehicles continued towards Habiganj at around 5:05pm.

Witnesses said no untoward incidents occurred during the standoff.
