Polytechnic students announce rail line blockade on Thursday

Polytechnic students have announced a rail line blockade for Thursday, April 17, to press home their six-point demand.

At the same time, they have withdrawn the road blockade for Wednesday.

Zubair Patwary, representative of the Polytechnic Students’ Movement, made this announcement at Tejgaon in the capital on Wednesday (April 16) evening.

He said they had a meeting with the Director General of the Directorate of Technical Education Shoaib Ahmad Khan, the Principal of Dhaka Polytechnic Institute and other concerned persons. However, they could not reach any solution.  

Therefore, we are announcing a railway blockade program tomorrow (Thursday) as part of the movement, he added. 

Zubair Patwary has called upon students of government and private polytechnic institutes across the country to make this program a success.
