  In Manado, the student protesters under North Sulawesi Movement Alliance organised a sit-in. They blocked the 17 Agustus Road, precisely front of Samsat Office, effectively causing traffic jams. Hundreds of personnels were deployed by local police at the North Sulawesi Governor's Office, then the protesters attempted to break the entrance gate, tearing apart several pieces of iron. They also burned a bier and used tires. After waiting for three hours, they were finally permitted to enter the governor's office by Head of National and Political Unity Body of North Sulawesi, Johny Suak. Later on 20 March, students under North Sulawesi Forward Alliance protested at North Sulawesi DPRD building. After being unable to meet parliament members, they infiltrated barricades installed by the police and clashed with them, causing damage within the building. Clashes between protesters and policemen began at 05:30 p.m., and three protesters were arrested during the event.
  
  In Palu, hundreds of students gathered in front of the Central Sulawesi DPRD, mainly from Tadulako University. The protest almost turned violent with students trying to get through the building gate. One student was injured in the head as the result of the commotion.
