Protests in Dhaka disrupts traffic across Bangladesh

Life was severely disrupted in Bangladesh’s capital on Monday as escalating protest marches brought traffic in several key areas to a standstill, blocking major intersections and causing widespread congestion and hardship for commuters, according to local media reports.

The disruption affected office-goers, students, and patients as restricted public



transport forced many to walk long distances to reach their destinations.

On Sunday morning, mobile phone shop owners from across Bangladesh staged a sit-in and blocked the Karwan Bazar intersection in Dhaka as part of a nationwide shutdown over multiple demands, including calling for the postponement of the implementation of the National Equipment Identity Register.
