Faridpur has seen fresh violence on the second day of protests against parliamentary constituency redistricting, with demonstrators demanding restoration of old boundaries.

Around 11 a.m., protesters blocked at least six key points along the Dhaka-Khulna and Faridpur-Barisal highways near Bhanga, halting traffic to 21 districts including Dhaka.

When police attempted to disperse the protesters, clashes broke out. Demonstrators vandalized and set fire to Bhanga police station, the Upazila Parishad, and the election office.

Local reports confirm several people sustained gunshot wounds during the confrontation. Law enforcement agencies are struggling to regain control of the situation.
