Jubo League men ransack fair for toll

Pro-Awami League Jubo League activists demanding tolls ransacked a fair at Hizla upazila in Barisal on Wednesday.
Belayet Hossain Dhali, Guabaria union parishad chairman, said a three-day long Baishaki Mela was organised at the field of Kalikapur Govt Primary School.
He alleged that activists of Jubo League demanded tolls from the fair organising committee on Wednesday.
When they refused to pay the toll, the Jubo League men attacked and ransacked the stalls and gate of the fair around 5:00pm, he alleged.
At least eight people were assaulted by the attackers, he added.
Hizla Police Station Officer-in-Charge Abul Khayer said police reached the spot and deployed force at the fair to maintain law and order.
