Earlier, in the day, quota protesters blocked the Shahbagh intersection, one of the city’s busiest areas, demanding immediate issuance of gazette abolishing quota system in government jobs. Several thousand job seekers, students of different college and universities, brought out a procession from Shahbagh intersection around 11am as part of their scheduled programme.
