At least 15 activists were injured in a clash between two factions of Awami League over celebration of the Independence Day in Sreenagar upazila of the district yesterday morning.  

Both groups-- one led by Sukumar Ranjan Ghosh, lawmaker from Munshiganj-1 constituency, and another by Golam Sarwar Kabir, a central AL leader,-- blamed each other for the incident.  

Police fired over 100 rubber bullets and tear gas canisters to bring the situation under control, said Kazi Maksuda Lima, Munshiganj assistant superintendent of police.
