At least four were killed in Gopalganj today (16 July) after banned Awami League supporters attacked an NCP convoy, which was leaving the district town following a rally in their "July March" campaign.
Amid mounting violence in Gopalganj, the government imposed a strict curfew from 8 p.m. yesterday until 6 p.m. today in an effort to contain the chaos. Earlier, the local administration had invoked Section 144 after supporters of the banned Awami League launched brutal attacks on law enforcement officials, leaving several police injured and causing extensive damage to vehicles through torching and vandalism.
To regain control of the increasingly volatile situation, a combined force of police and army personnel, bolstered by four platoons of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), has been deployed throughout the city. The heavy security presence aims to restore order and prevent further escalation as tensions remain high.
