Rajshahi University students blocked the Dhaka-Rajshahi highway on Monday to press home their nine-point demand including proper investigation and trial for those responsible for the deaths during the quota reform protests last week.
The protesting students staged demonstration in front of the main gate of the university. Later, they took position on Dhaka-Rajshahi highway, halting traffic.
The students said they paraded different roads with a procession adjacent to the campus and then staged demonstrations, reports our correspondent from the spot.
They said they would continue their movement until their demands are met.
Meanwhile, the BGB and police are on high alert. Members of law enforcement agencies were seen at various points in the city, reports UNB.
