Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will lay the foundation stone of an underpass adjacent to Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College on the Airport Road in the capital today.
“The Prime Minister will lay the foundation stone of the underpass at 10 am today,” Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) Press Wing sources said on Saturday.
The premier made a commitment to construct the underpass following the tragic death of two students of the college, the sources said.
Diya Khanam Mim and Abdul Karim Rajib, the two students of the college, were killed as a Jabal-e-Noor bus ploughed through a crowd while competing with another bus of the same company on the Airport Road on July 29.
Earlier, the Prime Minister donated savings certificates of Taka 20 lakh to each of the families of Mim and Rajib.
