Supporters of Gias Uddin, former upazila chairman of Mirsarai upazila, and Ataur Ataur Rahman Ata, former president of Awami League's Mirsarai Upazila wing, came to blows and hurled plastic chairs at each other before the start of the council at the port city's Laldighi field on Saturday.
But the incident did not hamper the council which went ahead as scheduled.
The central leaders of the Chattogram unit started arriving at the venue after the fracas ended.
Awami League's Presidium Member and former president of the Chattogram North unit Mosharraf Hossain inaugurated the triennial council around 11 am.
