The protests demanding safe roads are still raging on. Students from several schools and colleges of the capital were seen yesterday, carrying placards that stated many of their demands, aimed at ensuring  road safety and ending corruption and mismanagement in the transport  sector.

Their demands also include justice for Notre Dame College student Nayeem Hasan and Ekramunnesa High School's SSC candidate Mainuddin -- two victims of recent road accidents.

Speaking on behalf of the protesting students,

Shohagi Samia, a student of Khilgaon Model College, said they will continue with the demo until their 11-point demand is met.

"We don't want to see deaths on the roads anymore," she said.

As part of the ongoing protests, some students yesterday also organised a bicycle rally from Ekramunnesa High School to Notre Dame College in Dhaka.

They started the rally around 3:45pm from Rampura Bridge, which was initially intercepted by police, on the grounds that the students had not acquired permission. However, in the face of protest, they later allowed the students to continue with the rally.

The students will also distribute leaflets to raise awareness about their movement and demands at Rampura bridge area today from 3pm.

In Barishal, several students held a protest rally yesterday and submitted a memorandum to the district commissioner, with their seven-point demand, which includes half-fare on river-ways.

Students have been protesting in demand of half-fares, after bus fares went up following a hike in diesel price.

On November 24, Nayeem Hasan was killed by a Dhaka South City Corporation vehicle in Gulistan, and Mainuddin was killed in a similar incident on November 29.

Students from schools and colleges all over the capital erupted in protests following the two incidents, demanding road safety and justice for the deceased.
