Students clash with bus staff

Our Correspondent, Patuakhali
At least 30 people were injured yesterday noon as students of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) clashed with bus staffs. The incident took place after a bus staff assaulted Saiful, a student of computer science and engineering for refusing to pay increased bus fare. Hearing this, many PSTU students put up barricade on Patuakhali-Baufal via Dumki road from 1.00am to 3.00pm. The agitated students vandalised a Patuakhali-bound passenger bus. The students and bus staff locked in clash and the situation worsened around 2.00pm when policemen assaulted some PSTU teachers who were trying to calm the agitating students.
