The Basail upazila administration has enforced Section 144 after two groups called rallies at the same venue under different banners.

Freedom fighters, under the banner of “Kaderia Bahini,” announced a gathering at Shaheed Minar premises with Kader Siddiqui as chief guest, while a student body applied to hold a separate rally at the same spot under the banner of “Student Society.”

Tensions escalated as both groups claimed priority. The UNO confirmed that Section 144 will remain effective from 6 AM to 6:30 PM to prevent clashes.
