Section 144 imposed in Fulgazi

The administration of Feni’s Fulgazi upazila has imposed a curfew at Daulatpur village of the upazila on Saturday.

The imposition of the curfew came after a clash between Fulgazi chapters of the Bangladesh Awami League (AL) and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) on Friday.

According to the order signed by Fulgazi Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Ashrafun Nahar, both the AL and the BNP’s Fulgazi units had called for relief distribution programmes at the upazila’s Daulatpur village. A clash ensued when both groups tried to conduct their pre-scheduled programmes simultaneously.

According to Alal Uddin, Member Secretary of Feni District BNP, prior to Friday’s attack, the AL men launched another attack at their preparatory meeting for the relief programme, leaving 30 of their activists injured.

General Secretary of Fulgazi Upazila AL Harunur Rashid Majumder claimed that it was the BNP men who had attacked Sadar union Jubo League President Nizam Company and injured five of his men.
