Two people have received burns as miscreants set a bus afire in Savar's Gand Bus Stand area on Thursday night.
Locals said miscreants threw petrol bombs at a Faridpur-bound bus of Jaker Paribahan on Dhaka-Aricha Highway at 9pm, leaving two passengers injured.
The injured have been admitted to Enam Medical college Hospital, said Savar Model police station OC Motaleb Hossain.
So far, more than 70 people have died and scores have been injured in different parts of the country in violence during the BNP-led alliance enforced non-stop blockade.
Of those, a large number of arson attacks are being conducted on highways. Hundreds of vehicles, including those belonging to law-enforcers, were burnt and attacked.
The BNP led 20-party alliance has been enforcing a non-stop nationwide blockade since January 5 in protest against the “confinement” of the party chief Khaleda Zia.
Khaleda Zia had been kept confined to her Gulshan party office since January 3 ahead of a party rally, marking “Democracy Killing Day.”
On January 12, the security was relaxed.
But Khaleda never came out; instead she said in a press conference that she was going to stay there and the blockade would continue unless the government took the first steps towards solution.
For most of the day, the BNP-led 20-party alliance enforced blockade and hartal had little impact on the lives of the people on its 38th day, aside from a few stray incidents of violence across the country.
Law enforcers continued a crackdown on alleged anarchists in different parts of the country.
In the capital, city dwellers experienced traffic jams on the roads, a sign of relative normalcy.
