A bus was set in fire at the south gate of Baitul Mukarram in Dhaka this morning.
Two fire engines rushed to the spot when a Shikor Paribahan bus torched at around 9:00 a.m., according to Lima Khanam, duty officer of the Fire Service and Civil Defence control room.
However, no one was injured.
The ruling Awami League held a "peace rally" at Baitul Mukarram`s south gate yesterday.
In response to the police intervention that led the BNP to call off its Nayapaltan grand rally yesterday, the BNP is holding a countrywide dawn-to-dusk hartal today.
