Quota system protest: RU students block Dhaka-Rajshahi highway

Rajshahi University students blocked the Dhaka-Rajshahi highway, demanding reinstatement of the 2018 government circular that abolished the quota system for government jobs. The protest, ongoing for four days, calls for a commission to reform the quota system based on the 2018 circular. Students want merit-based recruitment, with quotas only for disabled individuals. They also demand that quota usage be limited to once per lifetime for any government competitive exam, including university entrance tests.
