Students in Bangladesh blocked the Dhaka-Kuakata highway Sunday night to protest a recent road accident and demand safer roads. The demonstration began around 8 PM near the university, following a serious injury to a Bangla department student at Barishal University (Bobi). The student was reportedly hurt when a BRTC bus collided with a passenger vehicle near the Dopdopia Bridge. Protesters are articulating four specific demands related to road safety and justice for the injured student. The highway blockade caused disruptions to traffic flow in the region. Further details regarding the specific demands and the extent of the injuries are still emerging.
