A section of the deposed Awami League blocked the road by setting fire to tires demanding the cancellation of the Ghatail upazila Awami League committee in Tangail.
They closed the Mymensingh-Jamalpur highway and set fire to the tires after finishing the press conference at the upazila teachers' association on Sunday afternoon.
In the press conference, Anehla UP Chairman of Ghatail upazila Talukdar Mohammad Shajahan said that the committee of Ghatail upazila Awami League was announced on January 28. However, upazila Awami League President Shahilul Islam Lebu gave places to people involved in BNP-Jamaat and anti-national activities in that committee. He warned of strict agitation if this illegal committee is not abolished.
