5 Ansar members injured in attacks during Savar footpath eviction drive

The attacks took place in the Savar bus stand area in the morning and again in the afternoon while Ansar members were conducting drives to keep footpaths free from illegal occupation.

Vendors reoccupy the footpath in front of Priyangon Shopping Centre on 22 April 2026, leaving pedestrians with almost no space to walk. Despite recent coordinated eviction drives across eight DMP divisions, many return out of economic necessity. Photo: Subrata Chanda/TBS
