Classes at Milestone School and College in Uttara resumed on Wednesday, 15 days after an aircraft crashed into the educational institution.
Confirming the matter, Milestone's Public Relations Officer Shah Bulbul said that students from the college wing (grades 9 to 12) arrived on campus wearing uniforms, and classes began as usual at 8:30 am.
Earlier, the students participated in a prayer session organised last Sunday, seeking eternal peace for the departed souls of students, teachers, and guardians who died in the aircraft crash, as well as the speedy recovery of the injured.
On July 21, an Air Force fighter jet crashed into Milestone School and College in Diyabari, Uttara.
So far, 34 people, including children, have been killed in the incident. Many of the burn victims are still undergoing treatment in hospitals.
Meanwhile, counselling services are being provided to students suffering from mental trauma at a counselling centre set up on the Milestone campus, aiming to help students recover from the trauma so they can focus on their studies.
In addition, teachers and guardians who witnessed the aircraft crash up close are also receiving counselling.
