"Today I left for Mymensingh. After crossing Gazipur, it seemed that hartal or curfew is going on. There are no vehicles, trucks on the road. Some of our leaders and workers are seen coming in some small trucks. Then I heard that the Chhatra League men took position in the middle of the road with sticks.”
