Local residents blocked roads and railway tracks in Brahmanbaria protesting the division of Sadar upazila and demanding the restoration of six villages in Basudeb union. The protest began on Sunday morning at the Kodda cabin area of Sadar upazila.
Due to the blockade, train movement on the Dhaka-Sylhet and Dhaka-Chittagong routes has completely stopped. Additionally, the Akhaura-Agartala road blockade has halted all passenger and freight vehicle movement, causing immense suffering to commuters.
According to locals, six villages of Basudeb union were earlier separated to form a new union under Akhaura upazila. The current protests erupted following a recent proposal to create a new upazila by dividing three unions of Sadar.
