Job-seeking students demonstrated in the capital's Shahbagh area yesterday (26 April), demanding reforms in the PSC with a seven-point charter of demands.
They also blocked the Shahbagh intersection this afternoon.
"Although there was a plan to meet with a delegation of protestors last Monday, unfortunately, the meeting could not take place. However, the students' demands have been conveyed to the authorities concerned," Asif wrote in his post.
