Dhaka, Nov. 25 -- An hour of clashes between police and job seekers demanding a postponement of the 47th BCS written exam have brought traffic at Shahbagh to a standstill, while protesters staged sit-in outside the police station.

Clashes erupted on Tuesday afternoon when the demonstrators broke through police barricades and attempted to march toward the State Guest House Jamuna, the official residence of the chief advisor.

After about an hour of back-and-forth chases, the protesters regrouped and began demonstrating outside Shahbagh Police Station.

The job seekers have been demonstrating across the country, including the capital, to postpone the BCS written exam. They blockaded railways in Mymensingh and Natore as well.
