Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment College (Bengali: শহীদ রমিজ উদ্দিন ক্যান্টনমেন্ট কলেজ), also known as SRCC, is an educational institution in Dhaka, Bangladesh,[1] adjacent to Sursoptok underpass.[2] It is managed by the Bangladesh Army, primarily for the children of army personnel, but students from civilian families can also study in this college.[3]

History

On 29 July 2018, two students from the college died and seven were injured in a road accident on Airport Road, Dhaka.[4] The incident impelled students to demand safer roads and stricter traffic laws, and the demonstrations rapidly spread throughout Bangladesh.[5][6]
