A ‘No school, no work’ programme is being carried out across the country to protest Israel's attack and genocide in Gaza.

In protest against the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and to demand a boycott of Israeli products, a large mob of students and crowds gathered in Bogura city for a demonstration in the afternoon.

The protest, which began with a march from various educational institutions, culminated at the heart of the city, Satmatha, where demonstrators broke into the Bata showroom, smashing its glass walls.

The protestors, armed with banners, placards and festoons, raised slogans condemning the genocide in Palestine and demanding the boycott of Israeli products.

The protest caused severe traffic congestion on the city’s roads.

Following the march, the demonstrators targeted the Bata showroom by throwing bricks and damaging its glass facade.

Employees inside managed to lock the doors and prevent further damage.
