In Bhalukaof Mymensingh, the residents of Mymensingh staged a protest rally by blocking the highway and human chain to demand an end to harassment cases, bribery, extortion and prosecution of corrupt officials. In the morning, thousands of affected local residents held this program on the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway in the upazila’s seed store market. Former UP members Kamal Hossain and Abdur Rauf, Shahjahan Siraj, Abul Hossain Master, Nasir Uddin, Rafiqul Islam and many others spoke in the program chaired by Tofail Ibn Jamal and moderated by Manzoor Mahmud. The speakers in the rally said that the people cannot be harassed in the construction of houses. False cases cannot be filed. Afforestation cannot be done until the pending court case is settled. By demarcating the property, the forest department will understand the property of the forest division and explain to the people, all the false cases going on in the court should be withdrawn. Forestry should be stopped in BRS record areas in the name of public. Besides, the supporter of the fallen autocracy Awami government demanded the dismissal of corrupt Baluka range officer Harun-or-Rashid and Kadigarh beat officer Anwar Hossain Khan. Later, the angry locals blocked the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway for an hour. Later, when the army and administration officials came and assured the people to accept the demands, the besiegers lifted the siege
