Police have blocked NCP leaders headed from Moulvibazar to Habiganj at Sreemangal’s Cha-Kanya amid rising political tensions.
A convoy of vehicles carrying NCP leaders left Moulvibazar Circuit House for Habiganj shortly before 4pm on Wednesday. They were stopped at Cha-Kanya around 4:30pm.
NCP Convenor MP Nahid Islam, Chief Coordinator Nasiruddin Patwary, and Chief Organiser (North) Sarjis Alam are part of the convoy.
Party leaders alleged that activists of the BNP, Jatiotabadi Chhatra Dal, and Jubo Dal attacked an NCP event in Habiganj following a programme on Tuesday. Several people were injured in the violence.
The local administration has imposed Section 144 in Habiganj municipal area since Wednesday morning amid mounting tensions between the BNP and NCP over the incident.
