Earlier yesterday (18 November), Titumir College students descended on the roads, blocking roads and even allegedly attacking a train, leaving many passengers injured.
Traffic movement was disrupted throughout the area, and its impact could be felt long after the demonstrations ended.
At 9pm, the protesting students declared a "College Shutdown" programme for an indefinite period of time. They cleared the roads in Mohakhali at around 9:30pm after pressing forth their demand to form a commission to upgrade their institution to a university.
The students said they would not participate in any classes or exams as part of this programme. They also announced a blockade today.
