The businessmen of Tangail Samobai Super Market put a blockade on a road in Niralar area in the district town yesterday demanding cancellation of a tender floated by a cooperative to build high-rise market there for them.
Besides, the businessmen also demanded return back of their money because of announcing the tender without any discussion with them as the cooperative earlier had collected the money on promise of giving shops to them in the new building.
Sources said the businessmen blockaded the road around 9am disrupting vehicular movement there and police from Sadar police station drove away them from the spot after two hours.
Later, they started a sit-in programme on local Shaheed Minar premises.
