Protests have erupted in the heart of Dhaka as agitators demand a change in the age limit for government job entry from 32 to 35 years. On Wednesday, October 30, a rally began near Shahbag police station, despite initial obstructions from law enforcement. The protesters chanted slogans emphasizing the need to elevate the age limit to 35 and criticized perceived favoritism beneath government's current job policies. 

The initiative, spearheaded by the General Students Coordination Council, follows the government's decision to maintain the job entry age cap at 32 and limit BCS exam attempts to three. Protestors assert that such policies hinder merit-based employment and are pledging continued action until their demands are met.

Simultaneously, students affiliated with Dhaka University protested at the ScienceLab area, calling for the establishment of an independent university for affiliated colleges. As day-to-day life is disrupted by these demonstrations, the focal attention remains on how the respective authorities will address these pressing demands.
