Dhaka-Mymensingh rail communication disrupted again amid BAU students’ protests
The protesters announced that they would continue their movement until their eight-point list of demands is met
Students of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) blocked the Dhaka-Mymensingh railway line for a second consecutive day today (27 April), expressing solidarity with the hunger-striking students at Dhaka University who are demanding reforms in the Public Service Commission (PSC) and punishment for those involved in question paper leaks.
The students began blocking the railway tracks at Jabbar Mor area near the university around 8pm. As of 8:54pm, no trains travelling from Mymensingh to Dhaka or from Dhaka to Mymensingh had crossed the point.
Earlier, around 7:30pm, the students held a protest rally and formed a human chain in front of the university's central library. Following the demonstration, they brought out a procession that circled the administrative building before reaching Jabbar Mor, where they staged the railway blockade.
