merit-based admissions
Traffic movement on Mirpur road resumes after half an hour
Traffic movement on the Dhaka’s busy Mirpur road resumed after students of Mohammadpur Residential School and College removed the blockade road upon assurance from the authorities concerned of meeting their demands soon.
Ali Iftekhar Hasan, officer-in-charge of Mohammadpur model police station, said the traffic movement resumed around 11am.
Earlier, students blocked the road demanding the admission of students to the institution on the basis of merit, police said.
Breaking open the entrance gate, the students took to the street, causing gridlock on both sides of the road around 10:30 am.
Earlier, the students campaigned online in support of their demands and carried out the blockade as scheduled.
