Local residents blocked several points of Chittagong–Cox’s Bazar highway on Sunday morning to press their demand for expanding the highway to six lanes.
They put barricades on the highway around 9:30am, halting traffic for about one and a half hours.
People from Kerani Hat in Satkania and parts of Chandanaish, Lohagara and Chakaria took part in the protest.
Police and local administration officials spoke with the protesters and assured them that their demand would be sent to the higher authorities.
After the assurance, the protesters withdrew the blockade around 11am.
