Students of North South University on Saturday staged demonstration on the campus in the capital’s Bashundhara residential area over the death of Maisha Mumtaz Meem, who was killed after covered van ran over her at Kuril Biswa Road Flyover on Friday morning.
Agitating students in the protest said Meem becomes the victim of unplanned transportation and road management. Another new name has been added to the list of deaths in road accidents. The uncertainty of students’ lives on road is increasing in such a way and it must end now.
The agitating students placed eight demands in the protest which include arresting the killer and ensuring exemplary punishment, providing adequate compensation to the family of the deceased, in case of death in a road accident, the law should be revised to provide for maximum death penalty, installing CCTV cameras at all places on the road to prevent incautious overtaking and separate public transport for students.
