11th blockade called by BNP, like-minded opposition parties underway

UNB :
Another road-rail-waterways blockade, called by BNP and like-minded opposition parties, is underway across the country.

The 36-hour blockade is meant to protest the schedule for the next national election announced by the Election Commission (EC).

This is the 11th blockade called by BNP and like-minded opposition parties since October 31.
The blockade began at 6 am on Tuesday and will end at 6 pm on Wednesday.

The presence of public transport and commuters on Dhaka streets seemed normal, despite tension and fear of arson attacks.

Meanwhile, arsonists set two buses on fire in Dhaka’s Tikatuli and Mohammadpur areas on Monday night.
