The students have staged a protest against the Traffic Police Department, BBMP and other concerned civic bodies. The protestors are demanding for a sky-walk at several places in Kempapura junction.

They have also laid demands such as deployment of more traffic cops to monitor the heavy flow of traffic and implementation of strict speed limits to heavy vehicles.

The traffic on the airport road has come to a standstill as the students have blocked the road. Policemen have rushed to the spot to clear the traffic.

A rashly driven tanker rammed into pedestrians and a motorist with great speed near the busy Airport Road near Kempapura junction under Hebbal police station limits on Thursday, killing a girl and the bike rider on the spot.

The entire incident was recorded by a CCTV camera installed in a nearby mall.

The camera footage also showed a traffic police constable trying to chase down the fleeing truck.
