Students of Government Titumir College have left the railway and road routes in the capital's Mohakhali area after 5 hours of blockade.
The students started a protest by blocking the railway and road in the Mohakhali area around 11 am on Monday (November 18) demanding a university. This stopped traffic from both sides.
On the ground, it can be seen that the students' blockade has created a long traffic jam in the area. This has also affected the roads in the surrounding areas. Passengers and drivers have suffered due to this. Many are forced to walk to their destinations.
Meanwhile, the Noakhali-bound Upakul Express train was attacked during the students' protest. Several windows of the train were broken and several passengers, including children, were injured.
