Students give 48-hr ultimatum to issue gazette for half fare

A group of students today gave the government a 48 hours ultimatum to issue a gazette notification for half bus fare.

The demand came from a protest programme at Bakshibazar in the capital around 11am. 

They demanded to ensure safe journey for woman and female students.

They also warned that if their demands are not met they will start protest programme at Nilkhet from Thursday morning.

Introducing him as a chief coordinator of 7-college movement, Ismail Samrat, said the half fare should be implemented for the students in all public transports issuing a gazette notification immediately.  

Another student named Niloy said the demands of the general students are not being implemented. He urged the government to accept their demands, otherwise they will not leave the road.
