Section 144 imposed in Brahmanbaria’s 4 upazilas

Brahmanbaria administration has imposed section 144 in four upazilas as local Awami League leaders called hartal to barricade the visit of Fisheries and Livestock Minister Sayedul Haque.

Upazila nirbahi officers of Bijaynagar, Sadar, Ashuganj and Sarail upazilas issued the orders separately on Saturday saying the ban on rally and procession would remain imposed from 6am to 12 midnight Sunday.

Two platoons Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), five section Rapid Action Battalion (Rab), members of Armed Police Battalion and 150 police have been deployed at the area.

Minister Sayedul Haque is scheduled to inaugurate a newly built upazila livestock hospital in the morning.

The local Awami League leaders became furious and enforced the hartal as Obaidul Moktadir, lawmaker from Brahmanbaria-3 constituency, was not invited at the programme.
