A group of students under the banner of "Technical Student Movement" on Monday blocked the roads at the Satrasta area in Tejgaon Industrial Area, to press home six-point demands, causing severe traffic jams on various streets.
Tejgaon Industrial Area Police Station's Officer-in-Charge (OC) Gazi Shamimur Rahman said that the students blocked the road around 12:00 pm. Due to the blockade, traffic on both sides of the road came to a standstill. The authorities are trying to negotiate with the protesters to clear the road.
