The teachers will then take up position at Shahbagh intersection and announce the next program. In addition, class activities will be closed in classrooms across Bangladesh on Wednesday (15 October).
• Traffic movement was significantly affected on the road from Doel Chattar to the Shikkha Bhaban, causing severe gridlock in the surrounding areas.
• Earlier, at around 1500 hours (local time), teachers and employees of MPO-listed educational institutions had temporarily suspended their planned long march towards the Secretariat after assurances from the Ministry of Finance and the Home Ministry during preparations at noon.
