Agitating students yesterday stopped the motorcade of Water Resources Minister Anwar Hossain Manju in Dhanmondi to check the papers of the vehicle.

School children coming in hordes, marching down the street in raw rage is something unprecedented. But that is happening right now, and it signifies only one thing – a show of complete no-confidence on the governance in the transport system.

Student protests spread like wildfire across the capital and elsewhere in the country yesterday, as demonstrators vowed to remain on the streets until their demand for safe road is met.
