Nine people, including three Chinese nationals, were injured after a brawl broke out as the locals opposed the construction by the Chinese company in Pirojpur district of Bangladesh.

According to the sources, the incident took place at Badura village of the Upazila when locals opposed the construction by the Chinese company. The injured Chinese nationals are Manager Majimao (31), Supervisor Chang Dew (28), and Supervisor Lei Bo (38).

Pirojpur District Superintendent of Police Mohammad Saidur Rahman said all the injured, including three Chinese nationals of the China project, were injured in the attack as a result of a misunderstanding between the landowners concerned over land ownership and pond filling.
