NSU, UIU, BracU, IUB students block major roads in Dhaka
Students from several private universities in Dhaka, including North South, Brac, Independent, and United International, have blocked major roads to protest attacks on students and demand quota reform. The blockades at Merul Badda and in front of Jamuna Future Park have caused significant traffic disruptions, forcing vehicles to use alternative routes. The protests began around 10:30 am, with students initially blocking one side of the road before expanding to both sides. Police officials report ongoing traffic jams and road closures in affected areas. BD Pratidin
