Unidentified miscreants set a bus on fire near Phulbaria bus
stand in Gulistan area of Bangladesh capital Dhaka on Sunday.
No casualty was reported.
The news of torching the bus came while the country is
witnessing 48-hour blockade of road, rail and waterways enforced by the main
opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party and its allies to press home their
demand for cancellation of the next general election schedule, resignation of
the government and holding the next parliamentary polls under a neutral
government.
The bus was set on fire at
about around 2:50pm, creating panic among the local people.
On information, two firefighting units rushed to the spot and extinguished the blaze, said duty officer of Fire Service and Civil Defence headquarters Rafi Al Faruk.
