Students of the Medical Assistant Training School (MATS), Bagerhat blocked the road in front of the Bagerhat Police Superintendent's office on the Bagerhat-Khulna highway over four-point demands on Thursday.
This caused traffic congestion on both sides of the road for half an hour. However, the students lifted the blockade after the intervention of the army.
The four-point demands of the students include immediate revision of the course curriculum while maintaining internships, abolishing the Allied Health Board and immediately forming an independent board, creating employment opportunities and making appointments immediately.
