Seven-college students stage blockades at Science Lab, Technical More, Tantibazar

Students of seven government colleges in Dhaka have staged blockades at the Science Lab, Technical More, and Tantibazar intersections of the capital, demanding the issuance of an ordinance to establish the proposed Dhaka Central University, bringing the colleges under a single institution.

On Wednesday, students blocked the Science Lab More at around 1pm, while Technical More was blocked at 12:30pm and Tantibazar at 11:45pm. 

Due to the blockades, the adjacent areas became heavily congested, halting vehicle movement. 

Students announced the blockade through a press release sent to the media on Tuesday. The blockade is part of their demand for the formal issuance of the Dhaka Central University ordinance.
