Bangladeshi trainee doctors protest for higher monthly allowance, causing traffic disruptions.
Trainee doctors from Bangladesh College of Physicians and Surgeons have been blocking Shahbagh intersection since Tuesday, demanding a raise in their monthly allowance from Tk 30,000 to Tk 50,000. The government had previously increased their allowance from Tk 25,000 to Tk 30,000, but the doctors remain unsatisfied. They claim that the current stipend is insufficient and are continuing their protest until their demands are met, causing significant traffic disruptions.
