Outsourcing employees of government institutions blocked Shahbagh intersection in Dhaka on Saturday morning, demanding nationalisation of their jobs.
Hundreds of employees gathered at Shahbagh at around 10:30am, halting traffic movement in the surrounding areas.
Many passengers were seen getting off the buses and started walking to reach their destinations, they added.
A protester said “Our one-point demand is nationalisation of our jobs. We will continue our protest until our demand is met.”
