As the activists attempted to move from InterContinental crossing towards Jamuna, police tried to block their path. Following the InterContinental clash, activists once again took to the streets at Banglamotor intersection, staging a demonstration in front of Rupayan Tower. Police have been using tear gas to disperse the protesters, but each time authorities retreat, the activists return to occupy the main road. Traffic from Banglamotor to InterContinental intersection remained blocked, though vehicles were moving using alternate routes. The demonstration followed an earlier protest on Thursday, when Inqilab Mancha activists staged a sit-in in front of Jamuna, remaining there throughout the day.
