Bus takes SAU student's life

Shahinur Alam, a first year student of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, died on Thursday after fighting for his life at the Green Life hospital, Dhaka. He was critically injured on the night of June 28 after a bus knocked him down at the second gate of the university. We, the SAU family are deeply saddened at the untimely death of Shahinur.
It is sincerely hoped that the owner of the bus responsible for the accident would compensate the victim's family. It may be mentioned here that a huge amount of money had to be paid for keeping Shahinur under life support at the hospital. At the same time, we would request the authorities concerned to construct a speed-breaker near the second gate of SAU, for which the students and all the campus inmates have been urging the authorities.
Finally, the bus service owners should undertake necessary steps to improve the relationship between conductors and passengers.
