Students take to streets again with 11-point demand
Students from different colleges staged a demonstration on Rampura Road again on Wednesday to press home their 11-point demand, including road safety, and issuance of a gazette over half fare in public transport for students across the country. Several hundred students of different colleges, including Ekramunnesa School and College, Imperial College and Siddheshwari Girls’ College, took to the streets around 11 am. They were also seen checking the documents of vehicles, licences and fitness certificates, slowing down traffic on Malibagh-Rampur Road.
