Students protesting for quota reform in public service jobs blocked the Dhaka-Aricha highway, demanding withdrawal of the Prime Minister’s speech and condemning attacks by Chhatra League. The blockade, starting at 3:30 PM Tuesday, followed a march from university halls. About 10,000 students from various institutions participated. Protesters vowed to continue until their demands are met. As of 4:30 PM, they were still holding a sit-in on the highway. BD Pratidin
