Law enforcement agencies have reported intelligence inputs about planned sabotage on the Cumilla section of the Dhaka-Chattogram highway by leaders and activists of the banned Awami League and its affiliate organizations, Chhatra League and Jubo League, centering around the month of December. Police, citing intelligence sources, stated that fueled by fugitive leaders, attempts could be made to vandalize and set fire to vehicles on the highway.
Amidst these apprehensions, surveillance and security have been stepped up at 14 vulnerable points along the roughly 103-kilometer Cumilla stretch of the highway. Various points across Daudkandi, Chandina, Burichang, Sadar Dakshin, and Chauddagram upazilas have been identified as vulnerable.
Police and intelligence agencies have already arrested several activists and leaders through raids. Both the district police and highway police have intensified day-and-night special patrols and searches, and operations to prevent any sabotage plans remain ongoing.
