Brahmanbaria Municipality Mayor Nayar Kabir said all activities of the municipality remained suspended as the municipality had suffered severe damage in the Hefazat mayhem.

"It is uncertain when the activities will be resumed," said the mayor.

Everything was set on fire by pouring gunpowder and petrol, she added.

Brahmanbaria municipality has suffered heavy losses in the violence and destruction caused by Hefazat-e-Islam activists and supporters in protest of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Bangladesh.

The activists and supporters conducted vandalism and arson attacks on several government and non-government establishments, including the municipal office and the municipal auditorium, from 26 to 28 March.
