Curfew relaxed in Gopalganj

Authorities in Gopalganj have relaxed the ongoing curfew for 14 hours on Saturday, allowing public movement from 6am to 8pm.

This was confirmed in a letter sent from the office of Deputy Commissioner and District Magistrate in Gopalganj on Saturday (July 19).

Officials said the temporary relaxation aims to ease public suffering while maintaining security.

Law enforcers will remain deployed, and authorities will review the situation before making further decisions, according to officials.

The curfew was imposed following violent clashes on Wednesday during a rally organised by the National Citizens Party (NCP).

Activists of the Awami League and its banned student wing, Chhatra League, reportedly carried out the attacks, leaving at least five people dead.
