People are dying from extreme heat, which is also killing a large number of chickens and destroying tea plants
The man is none other than Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed. His car was crossing the Bangla Motor intersection as he was heading home via Shahbagh after a meeting at the secretariat on Wednesday afternoon.
The students who launched a campaign for safe roads stopped his car for about 15 minutes.
At one point, Tofail got down from his car and tried to speak to them. The students then shouted a slogan — “We Want Justice”.
Police requested the protesters to let the car go, but they did not budge.
