50 vehicles vandalised demanding road safety!
Students of Dania University College in Jatrabari and a number of locals vandalised at least 50 vehicles on Dhaka-Chittagong Highway yesterday demanding speed bumps and zebra crossings in front of their institution to avert frequent accidents.
Witnesses said the students and locals armed with iron rods, sticks and bricks vandalised cars parked on the Dhaka-Chittagong Highway for about an hour from 4:30pm. As Jatrabari police tried to stop them, chases and counter chases took place between them and the police.
The incident caused tailbacks on the highway and streets nearby. Rapid Action Battalion personnel and police brought the traffic situation under control around 5:45pm.
Locals said the students went on a rampage around 3:00pm yesterday after holding a meeting on campus to protest the death of an A-level student in Dhanmondi on Thursday.
