As part of the programmes, also aimed at ending the "misrule" of the alliance government, rallies will be held at the Shaheed Minar for seven days from tomorrow. The opposition will bring out a truck procession and hold wayside meetings in the city on October 15. The mayor also distributed Tk one lakh in cash to Reshma Begum, wife of police constable Abul Bashar Munshi who was killed during a blockade by 14-party alliance at Sonargaon upazila in Narayanganj about two months ago.
