Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has visited Setu Bhaban to witness the extent of damage caused by attackers during the recent quota reform movement by students today (27 July).
She went there at about 10am and inspected vandalised floors and premises of the building.
Minister of Road Transport and Bridges Obaidul Quader and other senior officials of the Ministry were present at that time.
They briefed the prime minister about the vandalism and arson attacks during which many vehicles parked there were set on fire.
On July 18, nearly 250-300 unidentified people stormed the Setu Bhaban, vandalised many vehicles, motorbikes, and ransacked different sheds and rooms. They later set those on fire. They attacked and beat many employees there.
Around 50 vehicles were torched at Setu Bhaban.
Earlier in the morning, the prime minister visited Pongu Hospital (National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation) to see the injured people there.
