After 18 months of inactivity, Awami League activists in Tongi, Gazipur, have raised the party’s banner and the national flag at their previously abandoned regional office in the New Market area. The event took place on Thursday morning, marking the first visible party activity at the site since the fall of the Awami League government on August 5, 2024. Witnesses reported that several unidentified party members entered the office, hoisted the flag, displayed banners, and then left.

Following the government’s fall, most Awami League leaders and activists went into hiding amid fears of arrest, while angry students and locals vandalized and set fire to the office. Since then, the building had remained deserted and was reportedly occupied by vagrants and drug users. Police confirmed they were aware of the new banners and were investigating who was responsible.

The reappearance of party symbols at the Tongi office signals a possible attempt by Awami League members to reassert their presence in the area after a prolonged absence.
