Muktijoddha Santan Sangsad blocks Shahbagh intersection

Bangladesh Muktijoddha Santan Sangsad, a platform of freedom fighters' offspring, staged a sit-in blocking Shahbagh intersection in Dhaka since this morning to press home their seven-point demand including reinstatement of 30 percent quota in government services.

Following the sit-in, traffic movement in and around the area has been disrupted.

Members of the organisation from across the country, carrying posters and placards, gathered in front of the National Museum around 10:00am.

Around 12:00pm they moved to Shahbagh intersection and started the sit-in programme.

Additional police have been deployed in the area to avert untoward incident.
