Students take to the streets for 6th day

The students, mainly teenagers, took to the streets of Dhaka for the sixth consecutive day on Friday morning, demanding justice for death of their two fellow students in a road accident.

The students gathered at the capital’s Asad Gate and Dhanmondi-27 areas around 11:00am with different placards.

Some of the students were seen guiding the transport workers to drive vehicles in a disciplined way on the roads.

Some of them were also seen using amplifier to control the chaotic traffic system, in a bid to decrease the number of road accidents.

However, the student movement sparked off after Diya Khanam Mim and Abdul Karim Rajib, students of class XI and XII of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin School and College, were killed after a ‘Jabal-e-Noor Paribahan’ bus ploughed through some their fellows in the capital on 29 July.
