\u201cAfter a long meeting with law enforcement agencies, we have decided that our movement will continue,\u201d said Hasnat Abdullah, another protester. \u201cWe will remain on the highways until our demand is met: the abolition of all discriminatory and illogical quota systems in the government job recruitment process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Protesters have blocked major highways in Dhaka and other cities in solidarity with the ongoing movement. In Dhaka, key intersections including Science Lab, Nilkhet, New Market, Bakshibazar, Shahbagh, Paribagh, Bangla Motor, and Kawran Bazar were obstructed, causing traffic to come to a standstill. The blockade spanned from 2:30 pm to 8:00 pm, paralyzing Dhaka\u2019s traffic flow and highlighting the protesters\u2019 determination to press on until their demands are fulfilled.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
