Gazipur BCL men block road
Several hundred leaders and activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) put up a barricade on the main thoroughfare in Gazipur town protesting announcement of a new district committee.
Witnesses said around 400 BCL men took to Rajbari Road in the town around 10:00pm and stopped vehicular movement. Later, police rushed to the spot and convinced them to leave the road.
A BCL leader said they are staging demonstration protesting formation of new committee as both the president and the general secretary are non-students. The names of the president and the general secretary of the new committee were announced around 8:00pm yesterday.
The Gazipur district unit of BCL was dissolved a few days ago.
