Students from different educational institutions on Friday held demonstration in capital's Rampura demanding road safety and half fare for students in all public transports across the country and justice for their fellows killed in road accidents.
Rampura has become a flashpoint for road safety protests after Secondary School Certificate examinee from Ekramunnesa Boys' High School Mainuddin Islam was crushed to death by a bus of Anabil Paribahan in the area on Monday night.
Road Safety Movement in a statement on Thursday condemned the remarks by Information and Broadcasting Minister Hasan Mahmud and road transport and bridges minister Obaidul Quader as to how these two important persons of the state could link their organisation to the Facebook page Basherkella based on an unsubstantiated Facebook post.
The nine-point student demand for safe road includes ensuring justice for all those, alongside students, who were killed in road accidents through a speedy trial and with compensation, half bus fare for all students on road, waterway, railway and in metro rails through a gazette notification and safe journey for women and girls on all public transports.
They also demanded the construction of bus stops and parking spaces in a planned way, strict implementation of the relevant laws, and legalisation of all drivers through training, creation of a modern and effective traffic system and ensuring accountability of the Bangladesh Road Transport Authority through surveillance.
