Students from Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET) and various polytechnic institutes across Bangladesh have been staging protests demanding the resignation of university officials and the cancellation of a High Court ruling. The protests have led to road blockades on major highways, including the Dhaka-Tangail-Jamuna Bridge and Dhaka-Khulna routes, causing significant traffic disruptions. KUET students have expressed their grievances over the administration's behavior, while polytechnic students are advocating for a six-point demand. As part of their ongoing demonstrations, students have announced a nationwide 'rail blockade' scheduled for April 17. In response to the unrest, KUET has suspended 37 students, as confirmed by the acting public relations officer of the university. The protests reflect a broader discontent among students regarding administrative decisions and judicial rulings affecting their education.
