Some victims who are undergoing treatment at NITOR with injuries sustained during the July-August uprising have been staging demonstrations by blockading Mirpur road on several demands. The blockade disrupted traffic and caused severe traffic gridlock on the road and adjacent areas on the first working day of the week.
Their demands included proper medical treatment, rehabilitation, compensation, and official recognition of their sacrifices. As of filing this report at 2:40pm, the protest was ongoing, disrupting the vehicular movement.
Earlier on Saturday night, the injured vicitms took to Agargaon-Shishu Mela Link Road around 9pm, halting traffic movement. Sher-E-Bangla Nagar Police Station's Officer-in-Charge Golam Azam said additional police personnel were deployed in the area and trying to solve the issue.
