An NCP leader was killed in a road accident on the Akhtaruzzaman Chowdhury Flyover in Chattogram city on Tuesday night. The incident occurred around 10 p.m. near the GEC area when Faiyaz Tajrian, 25, a member of the Chattogram Metropolitan National Citizen Party (NCP), collided with a stationary covered van while riding his motorcycle. Locals took him to Chattogram Medical College Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. His body was later kept in the hospital morgue.

Police said the covered van had broken down and was standing on the flyover when the collision occurred. According to NCP city office secretary Riduan Hridoy, the road was slippery due to rain and the streetlights in that section were off, making it difficult for Faiyaz to see the vehicle ahead. He added that Faiyaz was an active party member and had attended a human chain program just hours before the accident.

The incident highlights ongoing safety concerns on the city’s flyovers, particularly during adverse weather and poor lighting conditions.
