Witnesses said the pickets blocked Matiranga Bazar road by burning tyres and placing logs on Jaliapara-Ramgarh road in the morning.

They also hurled brick chips targeting some vehicles at the Zero Mile area in the city during the blockade.

No long route buses left the district while the movement of other vehicles was seen as normal in the district town.

Alongside RAB and police, BGB and Ansar members were seen patrolling the district town to maintain a law and order situation.

Picketing, arson attacks and violence have been reported across the capital since this morning amid the 48-hour road, rail and waterways blockade.
