Villagers blocked Dinajpur-Panchagarh highway Monday protesting death of a middle-aged man in a road accident in front of Dinajpur Power Development Board office. Md Mozammel Haque, 45, son of Abdul Karim of village Ramnagar under Dinajpur Sadar upazila died on the spot at about 10:30am. Villagers said, a Panchagarh bound passenger bus knocked down Mozammel from his bicycle and crashed him under its wheels near Dinajpur Government College intersection. Soon after the accident, people of nearby areas came out on the street and blocked the highway disrupting road communication for about an hour with Dinajpur, Thakurgaon, Panchagarh, Rangpur and Dhaka.
