The protesters cleared Science Lab and Technical intersections later in the evening but warned of renewed agitation on Monday, saying they would again blockade Science Lab Morh and set up a mass assembly stage if their demands remain unmet. The demonstrations began around 1pm, with students blocking roads at Science Lab intersection as part of a pre-announced program. At one point, clashes broke out between the college protesters and Dhaka University students, resulting in the vandalism of a Dhaka University bus. The prolonged blockade at Science Lab caused immense inconvenience for thousands of commuters. Among students, opinions were also divided, with some supporting swift legal recognition and others opposing the schooling structure.
