In Chattogram, activists from the student wing of the BNP, Chhatra Dal, and the National Citizens Party (NCP) confronted each other on Sunday night over the removal of July Revolution graffiti from city areas. The standoff occurred between 10:00 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. near the City Corporation building, where both groups exchanged slogans and staged protests. Police intervened around 11:00 p.m. to disperse the crowds and restore order, deploying additional forces around the City Corporation premises.
According to reports, the Chattogram City Corporation (CCC) had recently erased graffiti from pillars of the Shaheed Wasim Akram Elevated Expressway, repainting them white and red and designating the spaces for advertising boards. The move sparked outrage among NCP members, who accused the city authorities of erasing symbols of the July movement. Mayor Dr. Shahadat Hossain denied the allegations in a statement, saying no graffiti had been removed and that the CCC was focused on cleanliness and beautification.
Police confirmed that the situation was under control and that no clashes occurred, though both groups had gathered in large numbers before being dispersed.
