Violent clashes broke out between activists of the BNP and Jamaat in Palashbari upazila of Gaibandha on Monday night, prompting the local administration to impose Section 144 to restore order. The restriction, announced by Upazila Nirbahi Officer Sheikh Jaber Ahmed, will remain in effect from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Tuesday. The confrontation, which began around 10 p.m. in the Jundah Bazar area, left at least eight people injured and disrupted traffic on the Dhaka–Rangpur highway for about an hour.
According to local accounts, the violence erupted after BNP activists allegedly assaulted a local Islami Chhatra Shibir leader over a previous dispute. Both groups later gathered at the market, leading to a series of clashes that injured at least ten people, including Palashbari BNP president Abdus Samad, who was later transferred to Bogura’s Shaheed Ziaur Rahman Medical College Hospital. Shops and businesses in Jundah Bazar were reportedly vandalized and looted during the unrest.
BNP leaders accused Jamaat-Shibir members of attacking their activists, while Jamaat representatives denied the allegation, claiming the conflict started over a football match. Police intervened to control the situation, and authorities imposed Section 144 to prevent further escalation.
