BGB, locals clash hurts six in Srimangal
Six people were injured in a clash between the members of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and locals at Srimangal upazila bazar in Moulvibazar yesterday evening.
Following the clash, locals blocked many roads in different areas of the upazila.
Mahbubur Rahman, officer-in-charge of Srimangal Police Station, said the clash ensued following an altercation that took place between a BGB official and a local transport worker.
Witnesses said the BGB official went to a restaurant where he locked into an altercation with a man and then a group of local people attacked him.
After he had informed the matter to the officials at BGB sector-9 headquarter, some BGB soldiers went to the restaurant and started beating locals which led to the clash.
Ranadhir Deb, Srimangal upazila chairman, said the situation is now under control and they are trying to persuade the locals to withdraw the blockade. The injured were rushed to Upazila Health Complex.
