DHAKA, July 22, 2025 (BSS) - The interim government has considered all six demands made by students of Milestone School and College as reasonable, following the tragic crash of a Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) fighter jet on the campus that resulted in massive casualties.

The Chief Adviser's press wing confirmed the media of the matter in a press statement. 

Education Adviser Prof. Dr. Chowdhury Rafiqul Abrar, Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr. Asif Nazrul and Press Secretary to the Chief Adviser Shafiqul Alam held talks with representatives of the protesting students at the Milestone School and College campus in Uttara this afternoon, it said.

Speaking to journalists after the discussion, Law Adviser Asif Nazrul said, "A data center has been established at the Milestone School. It contains information about the deceased and injured. If anyone is missing, that information is also available (there). The information is being updated regularly from here." 

He also said that arrangements are being made for compensation, rehabilitation and trauma management support for the families of the deceased and injured.

The government has expressed regret over the allegations of beating up students by some army personnel while carrying out their duties to control the crowd and will inform the army authorities to take appropriate action, he added.

The adviser also informed the students that the Bangladesh Air Force would be instructed to avoid flying training aircraft over densely populated areas in the future.
