Faridpur demonstrators agreed to suspend railway and highway blockades after meeting with local officials on Sunday. The High Court scheduled September 26 for hearing the Election Commission's response regarding constituency boundary disputes. Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Kamrul Hasan Molla mediated discussions with protest organizers during an hour-long session. Political activists and residents had blocked transportation routes since early September after the Election Commission transferred Algi and Hamirdi Unions from the Faridpur-4 to the Faridpur-2 constituency. The boundary changes sparked widespread demonstrations, disrupting travel for commuters.
Protesters committed to waiting for the judicial decision before resuming their movement. Rabin Sohel from Bhanga Upazila Matsyajibi Dal stated that unknown troublemakers had damaged government property during otherwise peaceful demonstrations. He emphasized that innocent villagers should not face harassment while legal proceedings continue. The deputy commissioner acknowledged local concerns about the redistricting process and successfully convinced demonstrators to pause their activities. Officials expressed confidence that the temporary suspension would allow the courts to address the constituency boundary matter through proper legal channels.
