Students of Home Economics College in Dhaka staged demonstrations, disrupting vehicular movement for three hours in front of the college, demanding status of the college as a Dhaka University institution.
A group of students took to the streets around 12pm and staged demonstrations blocking the Azimpur Road on Saturday, assistant commissioner (Lalbagh zone) of Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Salahuddin told UNB.
Vehicular movement on the road from Nilkhet to Azimpur came to a complete halt due to the blockade.
Later, the traffic on the road returned to normalcy around 3:00pm after police intervention, said AC Salahuddin.
Their other demands include increasing transport and library facilities for them, sources at the college said.
