Hartal Disrupts Life

Police are seen in action against pickets in several areas in the city during the daylong hartal, called by main opposition BNP yesterday. The pickets also set fire to a police van at Metropolitan Session Judge's Court premises while the law enforcers cordon off BNP MPs in Sangsad Bhaban area. Awami League activists chase BNP-backed lawyers in the court area. Photo: STAR
