Locals blocked the Dhaka-Aricha highway, protesting the killing of a minor boy in a road accident at Manra in Sadar upazila yesterday. Witnesses said, Ramzan Ali, 5, son of late Barek Mia, resident of Manra, died on the spot as a bus hit him while he was crossing the highway at about 11am. The bus driver along with his vehicle fled away following the accident.
