DOT Desk: [2] The students, who have been protesting over the past few days demanding safe roads at the capital’s Rampura, had to defer their demonstration as police obstructed them yesterday, reports TBS.
[3] Police reportedly dispersed the students when they tried to gather for holding a demo yesterday morning.
[4] “We are calling off the scheduled demonstrations for today. Our next course of protest will be announced later,” Shohagi Samia told The Business Standard on behalf of the protesting students. [5] Condemning the police action on students today, she said that the movement will be returning to the streets on a bigger scale after the end of the ongoing public examinations.
[6] Nurul Amin, ADC Khilgaon zone, confirmed the matter to TBS saying, “We have allowed students for peaceful protests on streets, but now some infiltrators have joined them to create chaos in the city.”
“Also, the HSC and its equivalent exams have begun, so we can no longer allow them to be on streets,” he added.
