Section 144 has been issued in the Mujib Chattar area at Dhunat upazila of Bagura around a rally of two factions of Chhatra League. The order will be enforced from 8am to 8pm on Thursday at Mujib Chattar and its environs, Dhunat UNO Sanjay Kumar Mahanta announced in a statement.

Abu Saleh Swapan, general secretary of Upazila Chhatra League, and Russell Khandaker, former member of Dhunat Municipal Chhatra League, called a rally in the area on Thursday. UNO said section 144 has been issued as there is a fear of deteriorating law and order situation surrounding the rally of the two sides of the Bangladesh Chattra League. All kinds of meetings, processions and public gatherings have been banned in the area.

Tensions have erupted in the area surrounding the rally of the two sides of the BCL. An explosion was heard in the area around 11:30 pm on Wednesday. The idea of the locals is that it is the sound of cocktail explosion. However, the police could not say what happened. Dhunat Police Station SI Pradeep Kumar said, “Several loud explosions were heard in the middle of the night. However, the word could not be confirmed.
