The construction work of a flyover at Kawalipara Bazar in Dhamrai has remained stalled for several months, leaving commuters and local residents to suffer from worsening traffic congestion and poor road conditions. The flyover was planned to ease congestion at the busy market and improve connectivity. The construction work began in late 2023 under the Tangail-Delduar-Lauhati Road Development Project. Work initially progressed at a brisk pace but has remained suspended for several months.

Police have arrested a man over the death of a Special Branch (SB) sub-inspector who was allegedly beaten to death during a dispute over parking a private car in Savar’s Aminbazar on Saturday night. The arrestee suspect has been identified as Zahirul, whom police described as the main accused in the case. Other suspects have also been identified and efforts are underway to arrest them.

Police have recovered the bodies of an unidentified man, woman and newborn from a locked flat in a four-storey residential building in Ashulia, Savar, in what they suspect was a planned murder. The bodies were recovered from a flat on the second floor of a building owned by Haji Hazrat Ali in the central Jamgarh area of Ashulia at around 1:30am on Saturday. The identities of the deceased could not immediately be confirmed. Locals said a couple had moved into the flat as new tenants on August 9.
