Members of a truck drivers' association blocked the Sat Rasta intersection in the capital demanding the release of one of their jailed leaders this evening. They blocked the roads since 6:30pm this evening, said Tejgaon Industrial Zone Police officials.
The protesters have been dispersed at around 8:00pm, police sources said, adding that the blockade has caused immense traffic congestion on the Mohakhali-Mogbazar road.
Police also said the protesters were demanding the release of Monir Talukder, president of Tejgaon Truck Drivers Union.
Monir, who is also a member of the Tejgaon Awami League's Executive Committee, is known to be a close associate of former home minister Asaduzzaman Kamal.
