In Gopalganj’s Kashiani upazila, activists of the banned Chhatra League briefly blocked the Dhaka-Khulna highway on Monday morning as part of a shutdown program. The protesters used tree trunks to obstruct traffic near Tilchhara Bazar around 7:45 a.m., causing vehicles to be stranded on both sides of the road for about 20 minutes. Videos of the blockade were later shared on social media. Upon receiving information, police from Kashiani station arrived at the scene, prompting the protesters to flee. Officers then removed the tree trunks and restored normal traffic flow. According to Kashiani Police Officer-in-Charge Kamal Hossain, the group attempted to enforce the blockade but dispersed quickly after noticing police presence, failing to sustain the protest.
