Outsourced employees from government institutions blocked the Shahbagh intersection in Dhaka on Saturday morning, demanding the nationalization of their jobs.
Several hundred workers assembled at Shahbagh around 10:00 AM, disrupting traffic in the nearby areas.
Many passengers were seen getting off the buses and started walking to reach their destinations, witnesses said.
A protester said "Our one-point demand is nationalisation of our jobs. We will continue our protest until our demand is met."
