Kolkata demo backs road safety campaign

In support of the students' movement for safe roads in Dhaka, some 1,000 students from different educational institutes and students organisations yesterday staged two demonstrations near the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission office in Kolkata.

The students, including some Bangladeshis, protested attacks on the demonstrators while burning a symbolic effigy of the Bangladesh Police. They also submitted a memorandum to the Deputy High Commissioner of Bangladesh demanding an end to the attacks on students, reports our Kolkata correspondent.
