BJP takes out protest march alleging corruption in deal
The controversy over erecting posts along city streets for laying optical fibre cable (OFC) refuses to die down. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took up the issue on Wednesday by taking out a protest march and organising a public meeting in this regard. BJP leaders alleged that the deal was mired in corruption, and the civic authorities cleared the proposal from three telecom companies with undue haste.More Related News

Bangladesh is witnessing renewed political tension after the killing of Sharif Osman Hadi, a young leader who emerged during the July–August 2024 uprising that led to the removal of Sheikh Hasina. Hadi later headed the radical group Inquilab Mancha and was campaigning ahead of the 2026 parliamentary election when he was shot in Dhaka. His death has triggered protests, diplomatic friction with India, and concerns over rising political violence as Bangladesh heads towards elections under an interim government.
