Gridlock in front of Bangladesh Film Development Corporation in the capital’s Karwan Bazar area yesterday afternoon. Traffic in the city was horrendous, trapping commuters for hours, after students under the banner of “Technical Students’ Movement” blocked the Satrasta intersection to press home their six-point demand.
