The incident and shipping minister Shajahan Khan’s comments about it sparked off huge countrywide student protests that has been continuing for the seventh consecutive day on Saturday.
During a meeting with prime minister Sheikh Hasina on 2 August, Ramiz Uddin College Principal Nur Nahar Yeasmin requested her to provide buses for the college students to travel from and to the institution as many of its students are from poor families, and they come to the college from far-off places, including Gazipur and Kapasia.
The premier instantly took some decisions, including providing five buses, for the college.
