Rail communication between Dhaka and most of the country has been suspended as students of Titumir College blocked Mohakhali Railgate area of the capital on Monday.

The students blocked the tracks as well as the roads at the intersection around 12.00pm, demanding that their college be upgraded to a university.

“We want our college to be upgraded to a university and won't leave the tracks until our demands are met,” said Shihab, a first year-student of Titumir, reports The Daily Star.
