Hundreds of protesting students who took to the streets in Bangladesh capital Dhaka demanding road safety displayed red cards on Saturday denouncing transport sector mismanagement and corruption.
They also demanded justice for those who were killed in road accidents.
Agitated students occupied roads in different parts of Dhaka including Rampura and Shewrapara where they blocked the roads to traffic.
The road safety protests saw a renewal this year after 2018 a day after a Notre Dame College student Nayeem Hasan was run over and killed by a Dhaka South City Corporation dustcart in the capital’s Gulistan area on November 24.
Yet the death of another student at Rampura in the capital added fuel to the ongoing protests. Secondary School Certificate examinee of Ekramunnesa Boys High School, Mainuddin Islam, was crushed to death by a bus on November 29 night.
Amid the protests, a third-year textile engineering student of Green University of Bangladesh, Mahadi Hassan Limon, 21, was killed in a road accident near the Padma Oil Company office in Kaola area of Uttara in Dhaka on Friday night.
The students on Saturday warned that they would begin a tougher movement if their demands were not met by December 10.
The student protesters said that the accidents were not isolated incidents or the drivers alone were not responsible, but these accidents also resulted from persistent mismanagement and unabated corruption in the sector.
The fellow students of deceased Mahadi staged demonstration blocking the road in front of their campus on Begum Rokeya Sarani in the capital on Saturday afternoon.
