The agitating students in Rampura have postponed their movement demanding safer roads with an ultimatum till 31 December for implementing the 11 points including half fare for students.
They also declared that if their demands are not met by 31 December the agitation will start again from January.
The announcement came Saturday from Sohagi Samia on behalf of the agitating students.
Students, teachers, parents and workers gathered at Rampura Bridge during the announcement.
“We have presented our 11-point demands to the administration. We want to give them some time,” said Samia.
She also said students are changing the nature of the movement but not stepping away.
“If we do not see effective initiatives during this period, not only students but also the general public will take to the streets from the new year,” she added.
Jahangirnagar University professor Anu Mohammad, referring to the demands of the students, said that whatever the Prime Minister says seems to be implemented immediately.
“But in the case of transport and the interest of the people, they are not seen to be implemented,” he added.
Bangladesh Jatri Kalyan Samiti Secretary General Mozammel Haque Chowdhury, teacher Nazneen Akhter Sharmin, Ride Share and Service Delivery Workers Association Riaz Mahmud and a section of transport workers participated in the programme.
