A daylong hartal and blockade is being observed in Bagerhat on Sunday, called by the “All-Party United Committee” demanding that the district retain its four parliamentary seats. The program, supported by BNP and other political groups, began at 8 am and will continue until 4 pm. Demonstrators have blocked several points along five major highways, causing severe disruptions for commuters. Meanwhile, the Election Commission in Dhaka is holding hearings today on constituency boundary objections, including those from the Comilla region.
