BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, accompanied by senior leaders and activists of the party, set out on road march to Sylhet from the party's Naya Paltan headquarters.
The sub-urban vehicle (SUV) carrying her left for Sylhet around 10:50am on Monday, followed by a large convoy of vehicles carrying opposition activists.
The convoy consists of nearly 1,000 vehicles.
Party's vice chairperson Selima Rahman has joined Khaleda in her vehicle.
Around 10.15am, the opposition leader's convoy left for the Naya Paltan office from her Gulshan residence.
Acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, vice president and Dhaka city mayor Sadeque Hossain Khoka and other standing committee members also form part of the convoy.
The opposition leader called for the road march at a Sep 27 rally demanding reinstatement of the caretaker government system and mid-term vote.
Following a Supreme Court order ordering the scrapping of the 13th constitutional amendment that introduced the caretaker government provision, the government repealed the system through the 15th amendment.
The opposition leader is set to address six rallies in the course of her 265-kilometre journey to Sylhet. The first rally will be held at Torab intersection in Narayanganj's Rupganj area. Then she will address rallies in Narshingdi's Itakhola, Brahmanbaria's Kottapara, Kishoreganj's Bhairab, Hobiganj's Shayestaganj and Moulavibazar's Sherpur.
The opposition chief would visit the shrine of saint Shahjalal after reaching Sylhet and stay overnight at Sylhet Circuit House. The Sylhet march would end with her address to a public meeting on Sylhet Alia Madrasa ground on Tuesday.
