At least 20 people were injured in a clash between two local factions of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in Nandail upazila of Mymensingh on Thursday morning. The violence erupted at Kharua Bazar over a long-standing land dispute between BNP leaders Shawkat Ali and Abdur Rouf. Police fired eight rounds of rubber bullets to bring the situation under control, and the upazila administration later imposed Section 144 in the area to prevent further unrest.
According to local sources, the conflict stems from a 30-year dispute over two percent of land currently under court trial. Tensions escalated when Shawkat Ali attempted to build a house on the disputed land, which Abdur Rouf’s group demolished. The following day, supporters from both sides engaged in a violent confrontation using sticks and bricks, turning the market area into a battleground. Several shops were vandalized, and both groups accused each other of attacks and looting.
Police and local officials confirmed that the situation is now under control, though no case has been filed yet. The Section 144 order will remain effective until further notice.
