At least 20-25 students are injured as alleged activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and police launch an attack on the student protesters at Dhanmondi 3 near Jigatola in Dhaka.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police has decided to take strict measures against traffic offences, amid widespread protests demanding safe roads.

Police and alleged BCL men beat up three journalists of The Daily Star and molested another in the capital's Jhigatola yesterday afternoon.

Road-wise, Bangladesh remained a student republic for the last seven days. It's about time it went back to what it is: a people's republic.

Expressing solidarity with the students demanding safe roads, Bangladesh Chhatra League leaders of Dhaka University unit distribute chocolates and sweets among the protesters at Shahbagh intersection in Dhaka.

Students for the seventh day take position on city streets and control traffic systems as part of their demand for safe roads.

Police and alleged ruling party men attacked student protesters in the capital and elsewhere, injuring a number of them yesterday.
