Angry protesters blocked the Dhaka-Sylhet Highway on Sunday, opposing the inclusion of two unions from Brahmanbaria-3 into Brahmanbaria-2 following constituency boundary changes.
The blockade, organized under the banner of the All-Party Struggle Council, began around 11 am at Chandura bus stand, causing a massive traffic jam stretching nearly 10 kilometers.
Leaders alleged that Chandura and Budhanti unions were unfairly shifted as part of a conspiracy, which would bring economic and administrative disadvantages to the area. Protesters demanded that both unions be reinstated in their original constituency.
