notes: On Jan 1, the first day of the countrywide non-stop blockade, enforced by the BNP-led 18-party alliance as its last-ditch effort to resist the January 5 'one-sided' parliamentary polls, passed off peacefully barring some stray incidents of violence and protest. One person was killed and several other blockaders were injured in firing by Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) members after the blockaders allegedly hurled bricks at them and vandalised the BGB vehicle in Sadar upazila of Chandpur in the evening.
