Traffic congestion was choking roads around the capital this afternoon as a fallout of the quota protests being held by university students in the country.
Speaking to The Business Standard, Assistant Commissioner of Traffic Badda zone Shuvo Gosh, said, "As the quota protesters took to the streets in different parts of Dhaka city, including Notun Bazar, so there's a standstill in Airport and Uttara areas."
The protesters had blocked off a main thoroughfare on Notun Bazar, which led to the increase in congestion, police said.
