CNG drivers' demonstration brought traffic to a standstill in the capital's Mohakhali area on Monday afternoon, causing immense suffering to commuters.

The drivers staged the protests on Mohakhali-Banani road to press home their various demands at 12:30 pm, halting vehicular movement on the busy road, said Banani Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Russell Sarwar.

The protesters gathered in front of the Mohakhali BRTA building to voice their various demands including 'arbitrary detention' of CNG-run auto-rickshaws and easing restrictions on parking. The demonstration concluded around 2 pm, after which traffic started returning to normal, said the OC.
