Students of the National Institute of Textile Engineering and Research (Niter) held a protest blocking the Panthapath intersection in Dhaka on Monday afternoon to press home their several demands.
The protest halted traffic from the Sonargaon signal towards Panthapath at both the Panthapath and Karwan Bazar intersections, causing severe traffic congestion on the surrounding roads, reports media.
At the time, the students chanted various slogans.
The protesters said they had been demanding the removal of the current director of the institution due to allegations of supporting corruption, centralizing power and leading attacks on students.
Despite a month passing, the Niter administration had not accepted their demands, instead blaming the students, closing the hostels and engaging in unprofessional behaviour, they added.
