At least 25 people were injured on Saturday afternoon in a violent clash between residents of Manikdah and Hamirdi unions in Bhanga upazila of Faridpur district. The confrontation erupted at Pukhuria Bazar after some locals were reportedly not invited to a school’s annual sports competition. During the unrest, the head teacher, assistant teachers, students, and guardians of Pukhuria A.S. Academy were trapped inside the school premises, while severe traffic congestion developed on both sides of the highway. Several shops were allegedly vandalized and looted before police and local residents brought the situation under control after about three hours.
According to police and locals, the incident began when unruly youths from Hamirdi union created chaos during a cultural segment of the event. The school’s head teacher, Enamul Kabir, tried to calm them, but an argument broke out over the issue of not inviting certain local dignitaries. The tension escalated after a student named Tamim was assaulted, prompting residents from nearby villages to join the confrontation. Police, aided by local people and political activists, eventually restored order and rescued those trapped inside the school.
Traffic movement on the highway returned to normal by evening, police confirmed.
