Local BNP activists and residents of Bera upazila staged a blockade on the Dhaka-Pabna highway demanding the reinstatement of the Pabna-1 constituency.
They condemned the redistricting decision, which split Bera upazila and merged it into Pabna-2 with Sujanagar, despite longstanding socio-economic ties with Sathia.
The blockade ended around 1 pm after discussions with law enforcement. Police said they remain prepared to handle any situation.
The EC recently revised Pabna-1 to cover only Sathia upazila, fully merging Bera into Pabna-2.
