At least 20 people were injured in a clash over a disputed land at Companypara under Lama upazila yesterday. A rivalry grew over possession of the land between two groups of villagers, one led by Abdul Gafur and the other by Fazar Ali, police and locals said. Fazar Ali and his men attacked Gafur while he was working in his cropland field in the morning. As the news spread, Gafur's men counter-attacked causing injuries to 15 people from both the groups.
