Poor response to Jamaat hartal in Cox's Bazar

Jamaat's eight-hour hartal in the district ended amid poor response yesterday.
The district unit of Jamaat called the hartal, protesting the arrest of Sadar upazila Ameer Shafiul Haque.
Police picked up Shafiul from his residence in Hazarghata area of the town on Friday for his alleged involvement in February 15 violence in the district.
No picketing was seen in the town while no incident reported from any part of the district. Inter-district buses went off the roads, but rickshaws and CNG-run auto-rickshaws were seen plying the roads in the district headquarters.
Public and private offices, shops and educational institutions remained open during hartal hours. Law enforcers were on-duty at all key points in the town.
