Students of different educational institutions, including Dhaka University and North South University under the banner of Inqilab Mancha held a cultural protest on the DU campus demanding assurance of natural flow of the common rivers and fair share of water.
They also protested against India for opening the Dumbur dam in Tripura without informing Bangladesh leading to flash flood in the country.
