Students attack bus stand
Agitated students of Nilphamari Government College attacked Anando Babur Pool bus stand in the town and damaged a bus and a bus counter yesterday. Sources said, four students boarded a Nilphamari bound bus from Rangpur when it reached Tenganmari Bazar bus stand on Rangpur- Nilphamari road. As the conductor demanded higher bus fare, the students wanted to pay 50pc of the fare on the plea of being students. The conductor refused to accept half fare triggering an altercation. At a stage, the bus staff assaulted the students when the bus reached Nilphamari. The students left the place but returned with other students in a big procession. The agitated college students then ransacked the bus stand and damaged a standing bus and a bus counter.
