16 hurt in Satkhira attack
At least 16 people, including two women, were injured in an attack by fish enclosure owners over using water from a canal in Tala upazila on Sunday. Local people said water of 17 villages in the upazila has normally been extracted through Madhobkhali canal since long. They said enclosure owners have been cultivating fish by setting planks in the canal hampering its water flow. Being outraged, the people of the villages went to the canal and started to remove the planks from the canal at noon. At one stage, a gang of 60/70 led by the enclosure owners equipped with lethal weapons and sticks attacked the villagers, leaving 16 people injured.
