The matter was reported in writing to the Superintendent of Police on August 21.

Regarding the issuance of Section 144, Upazila Executive Officer and Executive Magistrate Shahriar Nazir said that if the programs of both parties continue, the municipality will go to different intersections. There were possibilities of vandalism of vehicles, damage to private and public property and disruption of law and order, along with disruption of traffic.
