During the nearly three-hour-long clash, at least 50 people, including police officers, were injured, reports our local correspondent.
Eyewitnesses said after the Juma prayer, the students gathered in separate groups and joined the main road of the town. When the procession reached near the Awami League office, a clash erupted between the students and some Awami League leaders and activists.
The police fired rubber bullets and tear gas at the protesters. As of 5 PM when this report was written, intermittent clashes were ongoing. Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) and Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) have joined the police.
