Education authorities have postponed Thursday’s Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exam on Geography II in Gopalganj following clashes linked to an attack on a National Citizen Party (NCP) rally, leading to a curfew. “This is why only the Geography exam has been postponed,” said SM Kamal Uddin Haider, the exam controller of the Dhaka board. The unrest began in the morning before the NCP leaders could enter Gopalganj with their motorcade. Around 1:30pm, Awami League and Chhatra League activists marched through the town shouting “Joy Bangla” and stormed the NCP rally stage at the municipal park. After a short rally, the NCP leaders attempted to leave for Madaripur via Tekerhat under police escort.
