A group of students from Brae University and Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University formed a human chain around 3pm yesterday in front of Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College and Hospital demanding safe roads.
With placards, students wanted to know how much time the authorities would need to ensure safer roads and better traffic management.
The students said deaths of young lives on the road are not acceptable at all and the government must ensure safe roads for all.
They also demanded bringing the persons responsible under speedy tribunal.
"We heard that the biker was held. Now the pickup driver should be booked as soon as possible to deliver justice," said a Brae University student.
