Jamaat has brought out separate processions in Dhaka on the first day of the blockade's third phase this morning (8 November).

The areas where Jamaat brought out processions include Mirpur, Pallabi, Kafrul, Agargaon, Demra, Babubazar, Dhanmondi, Ramna, Badda and Basabo.

"People have united on the streets spontaneously demanding a caretaker government and the resignation of the government," Mahfuzur Rahman, central Majlish-e-Shura member of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami and assistant secretary of the party's Dhaka north segment, said during the blockade rally on Mirpur. 

Jamaat's Dhaka North Publicity Secretary Ataur Rahman Sarker claimed police tried to disperse the crowd of Jamaat men in Agargaon, and three were arrested.

However, this claim could not be independently verified.

There were no reports of police involvement in any other Jamaat processions today. 

The blockade comes after a one-day hiatus following the previous two phases of the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami-enforced nationwide road-rail-waterway blockades beginning from 6am today.

Arrests, arson attacks on vehicles and clashes marked the previous two phases of the blockade — one for three days starting on 31 October and the other for two days starting on 5 November.
