Dhaka, April 19 -- In a bid to press for their six-point demands and protest the "attack" during a programme in Cumilla, students across all polytechnic institutes in Bangladesh will cover the main gates with red cloth and hold a human chain on Saturday.

The event, organised by the Karigari Chhatra Andolon Bangladesh (Technical Students' Movement of Bangladesh), will begin at 11:30 am at each institute.
