DHAKA, July 31, 2018 (BSS) – The government today ordered punitive actions
against the persons responsible for the deaths of two students at the Airport
Road two days ago.

“The government today directed Bangladesh Road Transport Authority (BRTA)
and Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) to take legal actions against the persons
responsible for the tragic death of two students on Airport Road on Sunday,”
a Prime Minister’s office statement said.

The statement issued by the PMO’s Press Wing said the government also
asked the BRTA and DMP to take actions as per the law against under aged
drivers and and drivers without license in the public transports of the
capital.

The directives came from a meeting of Road Transport and Highways
Division, BRTA and Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) and other
related organizations with premier’s Principal Secretary Md Nojibur Rahman in
the chair. Khanam Mim and Abdul Karim Rajib, two students of Shaheed Ramiz
Uddin Cantonment College, were killed as a Jabal-e-Noor bus ploughed through
a crowd while competing with another bus of the same company on the Airport
Road on Sunday.
