A Supreme Court lawyer on Wednesday served a legal notice asking the government to withdraw the daylight saving time within 48 hours because of the 'sufferings' of people.
In the notice, lawyer Eklas Uddin Bhuiyan said it seemed very difficult for the students to attend classes so early coping with the time advanced by an hour.
He said the people faced various risks including death threats, hijacks and thefts due to the daylight saving time, students in particular who had to go out at 7:00am in darkness and fog.
Suffering of the students turned terrible with the winter set in, according to the notice.
The government advanced time by an hour at 11:00pm on June 19 this year in a bid to save electricity by utilising the daylight better.
Principal secretary to the prime minister's office, cabinet secretary and home secretary have been asked in the notice to take steps to reset the clock within 48 hours.
