Agitation over councillor\\\'s disappearance

Local people blocked Kaliakoir-Nabinagar road to agitate in Gazipur over missing female councillor Parvin Akter. She has been missing since Friday. ‘She has been untraced so far,’ her brother Rafiq Mia said on Saturday. ‘Police are unable to say where she is.’ Parvin Akter, hailing from Gazipur’s South Panishail locality, is a councillor for ward number 1, 2, and 3. She went out to attend an arbitration on Friday morning but did not return home. Joydebpur’s Chakrabarty outpost Sub-Inspector Md Mizanur Rahman said the locals gathered in front of Parvin Akter’s house on Saturday and started agitating. Later, they blocked the Kaliakoir-Nabinagar road halting traffic for half an hour from 10:30am. However, they withdrew the road blockade following police intervention. A complaint has been filed with Joydebpur police station over the councillor’s disappearance, according to a news agency.
