Miscreants set a bus on fire in front of Ideal School in Dhaka’s Mugda area on Wednesday (1 November) during the ongoing nationwide three-day blockade, said fire service sources.

Picketers from a procession in support of the blockade set the bus on fire around 10:55 am, creating panic in the area.

Lima Khanam, duty officer of Fire Service and Civil Defence, said a firefighting unit rushed to the spot and extinguished the blaze.

The second day of the countrywide three-day blockade, enforced by the BNP, Jamaat and like-minded opposition parties, is underway today with incidents of violence and arson attacks.
