Traffic in Dhaka's Mohakhali area came to a halt on Monday afternoon as CNG-run auto-rickshaw drivers staged a demonstration, causing significant disruption and inconvenience for commuters.
The protest began at 12:30 PM on the Mohakhali-Banani road, where drivers gathered to voice grievances about issues including alleged arbitrary detentions of their vehicles and strict parking restrictions, according to Banani Police Station officer-in-charge Rasel Sarwar.
The protest, which took place in front of the BRTA building, disrupted vehicular movement on one of the capital's busiest routes. The demonstration ended around 2:00 pm, after which traffic gradually resumed.
