A bus was set on fire near the Jatiya Press Club in Dhaka this afternoon amid the three-day countrywide blockade enforced by BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami.

Unidentified arsonists torched the vehicle around 3:30pm. Two fire engines doused the blaze within 10 minutes, said Ershad Hossain, duty officer of Fire Service and Civil Defence control room.
