Students from Govt Titumir College in Mohakhali staged a protest on Thursday calling for their college to be upgraded to a university.
This demonstration is part of a broader movement by students from seven colleges affiliated with Dhaka University who are demanding the establishment of a separate university.
During the protest, students blocked the road for an hour, causing significant traffic disruptions. Commuters faced delays and frustration as the busy route came to a standstill.
As the political landscape shifts following the resignation of the Sheikh Hasina-led government, citizens from various professions are voicing their concerns. The students’ demands reflect a growing desire for educational reform and improved opportunities in higher education.
