PM to lay foundation of underpass near Ramiz Uddin College Sunday

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will lay the foundation stone of an underpass adjacent to Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College on the Airport Road in the capital on Sunday.

Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) Press Wing sources said, “The prime minister will lay the foundation stone of the underpass at 10:00 am tomorrow.”

The premier made a commitment to construct the underpass following the tragic death of two students of the college, the sources said on Saturday.

Dia Khanam Mim and Abdul Karim Rajib, the two students of the college, were killed as a Jabal-e-Noor bus ploughed through a crowd while competing with another bus of the same company on the Airport Road on July 29, reports BSS.

Earlier, the prime minister donated savings certificates of Tk 2.0 million to each of the families of Mim and Rajib.

She also presented five buses to Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College for the transportation of its students.
