Police will take action against those who burnt motorcycles during BNP's march near Mirpur Bangla College, Chief of Detective Branch (DB) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Harun-or-Rashid said on Tuesday.

The DB chief said this while briefing the media at the DMP media centre in Dhaka.

"Millions of Dhaka commuters suffer a lot due to this march. So, political parties should think about the public suffering before announcing this type of programme,” he added.

Earlier, BNP's march came under attack near Mirpur Govt Bangla College on Tuesday.

As part of their one-point movement, BNP started a march towards Old Dhaka from Gabtoli Bus Station around 11:20 am.

When the BNP activists reached near to the college in Mirpur around 11:45 am, some youths attacked them, resulting in a clash, witnesses said.

Later, brickbats were thrown targeting each other. A motorcycle and a bicycle were also burned during the clash.
