Bangladesh Students Continue Highway Blockade for Healthcare Reform
Students in Bangladesh are blocking a major highway for the fourth day.
They are protesting to improve the healthcare system.
They want to stop what they call 'syndicates' that make it hard for people to get good treatment.
The students set up roadblocks, stopping traffic between Barishal and six other areas.
Police have tried to remove the roadblocks, leading to some clashes.
The students say they will keep protesting until the healthcare system changes.
The protests have been going on for 15 days, and the students say that they were forced to block the highway to get their demands met.
Students blocked the Dhaka-Barishal highway for a fourth consecutive day.
The protest, centered at Nathullabad Bus Terminal, disrupted traffic between Barishal and six southern districts.
Students demand an end to syndication and mismanagement within the healthcare sector.
Clashes occurred between students and law enforcement attempting to clear the blockade.
