The students from different polytechnic institutes in Dhaka and elsewhere in the country will hold protest rallies on the campuses of all polytechnic institutes today (April 27).

On April 26, under the banner of Karigari Chhatra Andolan, Bangladesh, they announced the resumption of their protests over job, promotion and quality higher education. 

They also urged the polytechnic students to hold protest rallies at all polytechnic campuses at the same time.

Earlier on April 22, they temporarily suspended their protests on the seventh day of their movement.

At that time the students, who had protested since April 16 to press home their six-point demand and at the attack on students in Cumilla, also said that if their demands were not met within the time the ministry sought, they would resume their movement.

On April 16, the polytechnic students across the country staged demonstrations by blocking roads, highways and rail tracks in Dhaka and other districts causing huge sufferings to people to press home their demands, including the cancellation of a High Court verdict that allows the promotion of craft instructors to the post of junior instructor.
