The Polytechnic Institute students in Bangladesh have been protesting to press for their six-point demands. Following intervention from the chief adviser and an invitation from the education adviser, student representatives are set to attend a crucial meeting at the Secretariat today. As a result, the nationwide railway blockade will be temporarily relaxed.
Early Thursday morning (April 17), Masfik Islam and Jubayer Patwari, two central representatives of the protest, released a video statement confirming the meeting. They stated that final decisions regarding the six-point demands would be made in this meeting, upon which further programs will be announced.
Previously, on Wednesday (April 16), students staged road blockades across multiple districts, demanding their rights. Later in the evening, they announced a new program that included a railway blockade starting today. However, they emphasized that the protest was not against the government and that they intended to collaborate with authorities to achieve their objectives.
