As reports came in, thousands of students had rolled on to the key thoroughfares in Mirpur, Farmgate, Sukrabad, and Dhanmondi areas demanding quota reform.

About a thousand students of University of Asia Pacificparaded through Karwan Bazar and Farmgate areas earlier in the day.

At this time, they blocked the road leading from Karwan Bazar to Farmgate. On the other side of the road too, vehicles were seen stuck in a long queue for some time.
