One person was killed in an attack by opponents while trying to prevent the occupation of a market under construction in Srinagar upazila of Munshiganj. At least 8 people were injured in the incident. The attack took place in the Balasur area of ​​the upazila at around 5:30 am today, Tuesday (February 3).
