Following counter programs by BNP and NCP over a graffiti issue, police have banned all forms of rallies, gatherings, and processions in areas from GEC intersection to Dewanhat in Chattogram city.
Earlier, Chattogram City Corporation announced a graffiti campaign from Tigerpass to Lalkhan Bazar Road.
At the same time, NCP supporters announced another graffiti program under the banner of “July Warriors” at the same location, creating tension between the two groups.
Reports also spread on social media alleging that paint had been applied over protest memorials on the Wasim Akram flyover pillars.
NCP alleged that there had been an attempt to erase symbols of the movement.
The city corporation denied removing any graffiti, saying only posters had been cleared.
