The interns of Dhaka Medical College demonstrate on the campus yesterday to protest an "assault" on one of their fellows, allegedly by a patient's relative on February 4. The demonstrators also demanded that the attacker be arrested and their security be enhanced. They, however, withdrew their "work stoppage". Photo: Star

A gang has been illegally lifting sand from this spot, about half a kilometre from Kuakata Zero Point, for at least a week, spoiling the beauty of the beach and making it vulnerable to erosion. The sand is being sold to locals who use it to fill up ponds, lowlands and ditches. The photo was taken on Saturday. Photo: Star
