A violent clash broke out between two factions of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) in the Baitipara area of Gazipur on Saturday around 11:30 a.m. The confrontation, reportedly over disputes involving jhoot (garment waste) trading, led to attacks and the explosion of several crude bombs. A motorcycle was also set on fire during the incident, prompting authorities to deploy additional police forces in the area.

According to local residents, the conflict stemmed from a long-standing dispute between two BNP groups over jhoot materials from Manol Fashion Garments.

India has raised cooking gas prices as global energy markets reel from ongoing conflict in the Middle East. In Kolkata, the price of a 14-kilogram LPG cylinder rose from 879 to 939 rupees, while the 19-kilogram commercial cylinder increased by 114 rupees to 1,990 rupees. The new rates took effect on Saturday, March 7, across West Bengal, intensifying pressure on household budgets.

According to the LPG Distributors Association spokesperson Bijonbihari Biswas, supply to large customers has been temporarily restricted, and similar measures may soon apply to users of 19-kilogram cylinders. Distributors reportedly have only four to five days of gas stock left. Many residents have begun turning to wood-fired stoves as an alternative amid the price hike.

Stakeholders warn that if the conflict continues, gas prices could rise further. Local consumers expressed concern that the higher costs are straining family finances, with few affordable alternatives available.

Rajshahi University Central Students’ Union (Raksu) General Secretary Salahuddin Ammar stated that the leaders who led Nepal’s recent mass uprising have now formed the government. He attributed this to the absence of what he called the Dhaka University or 'brotherhood' culture. Ammar made the remarks on Friday in a verified Facebook post.

In his post, Ammar reflected on his involvement in campus movements during the period when the 'pet quota' protest was active. He alleged that many national-level leaders were so preoccupied with internal matters that they failed to raise a strong voice from Dhaka University demanding the abolition of the quota. He also mentioned that while large cultural programs were held at Dhaka University, his efforts to organize similar events at Rajshahi University were ignored.

Wishing success to Nepal’s 'Gen-Z government', Ammar said any party formed by the uprising leaders would be his 'beloved organization'. He criticized the culture of favoritism and fan-based evaluation in politics, saying it had driven many activists away from their organizations.

In a statement released on March 7, 2026, the ministry said that taking pictures of affected areas and sending them to what it described as “terrorist satellite networks, virtual pages, or enemy media channels” would be treated as collaboration with hostile forces.

The ministry labeled those involved in such activities as “mercenaries” working for Israel and stated that it would monitor these “Israeli soldiers” and take legal action against them. It also urged the public to report any information about such activities to the authorities.

NCP convener and opposition chief whip Nahid Islam has said that attempts are being made to rehabilitate the Awami League in the name of the Liberation War and the historic 7 March. Speaking as the chief guest at an iftar and doa mahfil organized by NCP Faridpur at Ambika Memorial Hall on Saturday, he stated that the Liberation War is a glorious chapter for the nation, but the Awami League has tarnished that glory by legitimizing crimes such as enforced disappearances, killings, and money laundering in its name.

Nahid Islam accused the government of betraying the aspirations of July and the July Charter, claiming that while his party took two oaths under the implementation order, the ruling party violated one of them. Expressing willingness to work positively with the government, he demanded that the Reform Council take oath before the 12th session and that the first session remove what he called a fascist president. Otherwise, he warned, the eleven-party alliance would take to the streets.

Several NCP and affiliated organization leaders attended the event as special guests.
