Locals in Faridpur’s Bhanga upazila blocked major highways again on Wednesday, protesting the exclusion of Algi and Hamirdi unions from the Faridpur-4 constituency.

Demonstrators staged sit-ins at eight key points of the Dhaka-Khulna and Dhaka-Barishal highways, halting transport to 21 districts.

They demanded that the Election Commission reverse its decision to merge the unions with Faridpur-2, warning of continued protests until their demand is met.
