Students on rampage

The students of Dhaka University on Tuesday went on a rampage after traffic police stopped the bus carrying the students which dodged traffic signal. In the ensuing clashes, between a section of DU students and on-duty cops at Russel Square in the city at least ten people were hurt.
If the bus had actually violated the signal at an important intersection that was an offence on the part of its driver. And if the on-duty traffic policeman blocked the bus for the wrong doing he was carrying out his duty. How violence could crop there? We just fail to understand.
The students allegedly attacking the policemen were joined by students onboard another DU bus which was then passing the intersection. However, the Dhaka University proctor claimed that the bus hurried to cross the signal as many students were going to take exams. A policeman is also alleged to have passed indecent remarks prompting the clashes.
The fallout was traffic jam in all adjacent roads including the Mirpur road causing unnecessary suffering to people who were holed up in their vehicles for more than an hour. Students set afire a police motor bike and bashed several vehicles.
The situation could have been avoided if the students' allowed the cops to do their duty in first place. As educated people it was unbecoming of them to have reacted the way they did.
While the police should show more restraint, the students should also create good instances by negotiating such situations in a civil manner, realising that their unruly behaviour causes hardship to other people. It also lowers their image.
