Under the banner of ‘Technical Student Movement’, a group of students blocked the roads in the Satrasta area of the capital’s Tejgaon Industrial Area to press home their six-point demand, causing severe traffic congestions on various streets.
Students left the roads at around 6:00pm on Monday (September 9) after eight hours, after negotiating with the authorities.
Students blocked the roads at noon. As a result, traffic movement came to a standstill. The roads from Farmgate through Kazi Nazrul Islam Avenue to Shahbagh were almost completely paralyzed by traffic.
The six-point demands include all craft instructors who were appointed controversially in 2021, should be transferred from the technical department and all institutions immediately; diploma engineering courses should be ensured for a duration of four years and every semester (episode) should be of full duration (six months); the Technical Education Board must be reformed so that no personnel outside the technical sector can manage it.
