Quota movement: PM witnesses damages at Setu Bhaban
Dhaka, July 27 - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday morning visited Setu Bhaban to witness the extent of damage caused by attackers during the recent quota reform movement by students.

Road Transport and Bridges Minister 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 and also attacked and beat many employees there.
Around 50 vehicles were torched at Setu Bhaban.
