Train services on the Rajshahi–Dhaka route were briefly disrupted yesterday morning after residents of Rajshahi’s Charghat upazila staged a blockade, demanding an intercity train stop at Nandangachhi Railway Station.
The march began from the National Museum at Shahbagh around 11:00am and was stopped by police near the capital's Shikkha Bhaban around 12:10pm
Bangladesh stands in solidarity with Palestine, but misguided protests harming local businesses weaken the cause. Strategic, peaceful resistance—not vandalism—builds real change. Channelling anger through smart, targeted action sustains justice without destroying local livelihoods or support.
For the roughly 20 million residents, it seems there are almost as many protest rallies as there are people
The situation remains unchanged till the filing of this report around 1:30pm
If you have been keeping up with the news, you would be forgiven for thinking that Bangladesh’s national pastime is becoming "who can protest the loudest." With protests popping up on every street corner like pop-up shops, it’s time to address the real issue.
