Titumir college students announce day-long barricade protest

Students of Government Titumir College have declared a continuous barricade program from 11 AM to 10 PM on Monday (February 3) as part of their ongoing movement demanding university status for the institution.  

The announcement was made during a press conference in front of the college�s main gate at 11 PM on Sunday (February 2).  

Earlier, at 6 PM, students launched the blockade under the banner "Barasat Barricade to North City" in response to Education Advisor Professor Dr. Wahiduddin Mahmud�s statement that "There is no scope to grant special privileges to Titumir College."

Meanwhile, Dhaka Metropolitan Police�s (DMP) Gulshan Traffic Division has confirmed that vehicular movement has resumed following the withdrawal of the protest.

After nearly two hours of blockade, the protesting students withdrew from the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway at around 8 PM and marched back to their campus.
