Lalmonirhat, Mar 5 – At least five people were injured  in a clash between activists of Bangladesh Chharta League (BCL) and Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD)  in Hatibandha upazila headquarters of Lalmonirhat district on Saturday.

Witnesses said BNP’s upazila unit brought out a procession from the party office in Hatibandha protesting the recent price hike of commodities.

At one stage, police obstructed them.

A clash broke out near medical junction area, leaving five people injured.

Later police charged batons and brought the situation under control.
