The announcement came at a press conference on Tuesday at a restaurant in the city.


The city BNP convener, Ershad Ullah, formally declared the dissolution of the committees at the event.

Ershad Ullah said, ‘To strengthen grassroots leadership of the BNP during this critical time in the country, we have dissolved expired committees of 15 thanas and 43 wards. The new committees will be formed with leaders and activists who have been tested.’
