DHAKA, July 2 (Xinhua) -- One opposition worker was killed and more than 150 wounded as police used rubber bullets, tear gas and batons in Bangladeshi capital during the opposition blockade on road-rail-waterway, private news agency UNB reported Sunday.

    The opposition worker Golam Rasul Milan succumbed to his rubber bullet wounds in Dhaka during a clash with police at about 10:30 a.m.(04:30 GMT).

    Police and opposition activists fought pitched battles in different areas in the capital from 10 a.m. (04:00 GMT). The activists damaged a number of passing vehicles and pelted brickbats at police during the sporadic clashes.

    Train communications in different regions were disrupted as the activists put up blockade at different stations.

    The six-hour blockade was enforced across the country from 9 a.m.(03:00 GMT) by the 14-party opposition combine to mount pressure on the government to accept their reforms of caretaker government and the election commission.

    The Awami League-led opposition combine that laid the siege to the traffic routes is also demanding resignation of the three-member election commission headed by Chief Election Commissioner Justice MA Aziz for his controversial role, especially in preparing a new voter list.

    In the capital, most schools, shops, business centers and private offices were closed. Traffic movement in the capital was also disrupted as most buses, trucks and private cars went off the streets.

    The authorities deployed more than 6,000 riot police, armed battalion and Bangladesh Rifle personnel to maintain order during the opposition program. Enditem
