Rangpur Unnayan Parishad will observe a dawn-to-dusk hartal in the district today.

The local organisation called for the hartal demanding gas supply through pipe line, an education board in Rangpur and formation of Rangpur division comprising eight northern districts.

Different socio-cultural and professional groups in the district expressed solidarity with the call for hartal.

Rangpur Unnayan Parishad held a rally at eight points in the town in the last two days in support of today's hartal.
