Students from seven major government colleges in Dhaka blocked the Science Lab and Mirpur Technical intersections on January 15, 2026, demanding the issuance of the Dhaka Central University ordinance. The blockade began around 12:40 p.m., halting traffic across Mirpur Road and surrounding areas. Buses, private cars, and rickshaws were stuck in long queues, causing severe disruption to daily movement. Commuters faced hours-long delays, with many forced to walk to their destinations as transport fares surged.
Participants from Dhaka College, Eden Mohila College, Begum Badrunnesa Government Women’s College, Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College, Kabi Nazrul Government College, Government Bangla College, and Government Titumir College joined the protest. They said prolonged academic complications had gone unresolved, prompting renewed demonstrations. The Education Ministry stated that a revised draft of the ordinance had been sent for approval but gave no timeline, fueling student frustration.
The traffic police deployed extra personnel and diverted vehicles through alternate routes, but full normalcy could not be restored. The movement stems from long-standing academic delays since the colleges were affiliated with Dhaka University in 2017.
