At least 50 people were injured in a clash between the supporters of ruling AL and opposition BNP yesterday at village Noorpur under Sadar upazila. Police and witnesses said the clash ensued when a group of people led by AL leaders went to collect bamboo from a cluster for a local graveyard but the BNP supporters opposed the move. Both the groups used lethal and sharp weapons. A number of injured were admitted to Meherpur General Hospital while six were referred to Kushtia General Hospital for better treatment.
