Students from Kabi Nazrul Government College and Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College staged a road blockade at Tantibazar intersection in Dhaka on Wednesday, demanding the final ordinance for Dhaka Central University be issued. The demonstration began around 11:30 a.m. from their college premises, moving through Ray Saheb Bazar before reaching Tantibazar, where they occupied the road. The blockade continued until about 2:30 p.m., causing severe traffic congestion in the area. Later, the students began marching toward Science Lab, where they planned to announce their next program.

Participants said they had repeatedly approached the Ministry of Education but received no satisfactory response, prompting them to take to the streets. They vowed to continue their movement until the ordinance is approved and published as a gazette through the president. One student noted that the prolonged delay by authorities has severely disrupted their academic life.

The students’ demand centers on the swift presentation of the Dhaka Central University ordinance to the cabinet for final approval and gazette publication.
