BCL leader ransacks shipping agent's office

Central committee suspends him

The central committee of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) suspended Zakaria Dastagir, joint secretary of Chittagong city unit of BCL, last evening after he allegedly led an attack on a local shipping agent's office in Chittagong city earlier in the day.
Sheikh Russel, office secretary of the BCL central body, confirmed the news to The Daily Star.
Zakaria, with over 100 of his followers, ransacked the office of Globe Shipping Lines Ltd around 12:30pm, demanding that the firm sign a contract with him for collection of waste oil from ships, said witnesses and police.
Police said Naoshad Pintu, another BCL activist, was currently doing the work but Zakaria wanted the firm to appoint him.
Meanwhile, on information, some 50 followers of Pintu rushed to the spot but police dispersed both groups, said Jahedul Islam, officer-in-charge of Bandar Police Station.
The officials of Globe Shipping Lines were not available to comment.
