A violent clash broke out between activists of the BNP and the NCP in Narayanganj Sadar upazila on Tuesday afternoon over the submission of lease tenders for the Rajapur ferry terminal. The confrontation began at the Sadar Upazila Parishad premises when both groups gathered to submit tenders. Witnesses said the dispute escalated into a chase and counter-chase, spreading panic in the area. Police from Fatullah Model Station arrived quickly and brought the situation under control, though tension remained.

Narayanganj district NCP leaders alleged that BNP activists led by local leaders attacked them without provocation, preventing them from submitting their tenders. They claimed they had followed proper procedures but were targeted by politically motivated violence. In response, BNP’s youth wing leaders denied the allegations, saying they had reached a consensus with NCP and Jamaat leaders earlier and were surprised by the sudden unrest.

Police stated that legal action would be taken against those responsible for obstructing government work and creating disorder, pending investigation.
