Sikandarpur Westgaon village in Sylhet has again become tense amid violent clashes between rival factions of the ruling Awami League. The conflict, ongoing for over a decade, involves supporters of Golam Kibria, a former union chairman, and former UP member Haji Nur Hossain. Local reports describe repeated incidents of armed demonstrations, shootings, and looting, with residents living in fear. Despite police visits confirming illegal arms displays, no effective arrests or weapon recoveries have been made.
The latest wave of violence followed the reemergence of Golam Kibria and Shafiqul Islam after a period of inactivity. In recent weeks, several homes were attacked, roads were blocked, and surveillance footage allegedly showed known local youths displaying firearms. Police officials acknowledged the authenticity of the incidents but said suspects fled using nearby wetlands. Residents have accused police of inaction and demanded a permanent police camp, special drives to seize illegal weapons, and an impartial investigation committee.
Golam Kibria denied involvement, claiming he was in Dhaka for medical treatment and called for a neutral probe. Police say the matter has been reported to higher authorities for further action.
