In Faridpur, protesters blocked major highways in response to the redrawing of the Faridpur-4 constituency.
On Friday morning, two key points in Bhanga Upazila were blocked—on the Dhaka-Khulna and Dhaka-Barishal highways.
The blockade was later lifted following assurances from the BhangaUpazila Executive Officer.
Meanwhile, the dissolution of Bagerhat-4 constituency has sparked outrage among political leaders and local residents.
Earlier, after the draft redistricting proposal was published, protests including road blockades and human chains were organized.
