Lawyers have taken out processions in Narayanganj city in support of the strike to protest the abduction and murder of a colleague along with six others.
Bodies of senior lawyer Chandan Sarkar, city corporation councilor Nazrul Islam and five other people abducted from Narayanganj on Apr 27 were recovered three days later from the Shitalakhya river.
Leaders of the District Lawyers’ Association brought out a procession from in front of the Narayanganj Press Club around 6:30am on Sunday and it went round different parts of the city.
Many political and cultural organisations also joined the procession.
The marchers smashed a bus during the procession, which was followed by a rally.
Shops and businesses remained closed in the city. Vehicular traffic and train services were paralysed on the Dhaka-Narayanganj route.
Shutdown supporters stopped a Narayanganj-bound train in the Fatullah Railway Station around 7am, Narayanganj Railway Station Master Golam Mostafa said.
However, traffic on the Dhaka-Chittagong rote was normal.
Adequate policemen have been deployed at important points of the city to avoid possible trouble.
At the rally, District Lawyers’ Association President Sakhawat Hossain vented frustration over the failure of the law enforcers to identify and arrest those responsible for the murders.
Speakers demanded that the government take necessary measures to identify the criminals and bring them to book.
BNP and its key ally Jamaat-e-Islami also backed the daylong strike called by the lawyers association.
