Quota protesters block highway, railway

A Correspondent:

Chattogram: As part of the nationwide quota reform movement, students from International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC) blocked the Dhaka-Chittagong highway, halting traffic for hours and caus-ing a 60-km tailback on Tuesday.
Several thousand students from IIUC in Kumira put up barricaded and obstructed traffic on Dhaka-Chattogram highway at 10 am, causing severe traffic jam.
They simultaneously blocked the railway in Sitakuna.
However, the blockade was lifted around 2 pm after a meeting between the university authorities, the protesters, and the local administration.
During the blockade, some Chhatra League activists tried to drive away the anti-quota protesters, result-ing in a chase and counter-chase.
Over a hundred law enforcement personnel were present during the blockade.
Bar Aulia Highway Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Khokon Chandra Ghosh said that the IIUC students first blocked the railway, then the highway near the university gate.
Sitakunda UNO K M Rafiqul Islam said that upon receiving news of the IIUC students’ highway block-ade, he rushed to the scene and calmed the students.
