JU reopens Sunday

Posted by bangladesh

Jahangirnagar University is slated to resume academic activities from Sunday after a 24-day closure in the wake of violent clashes between ruling Awami League student wing Bangladesh Chhatra League and police.

Authorities say dormitories would be opened from Saturday afternoon.

A media release from the university said students would have to present their identity cards at the hall gates. Teachers would examine the cards, it said.

Students residing at halls would be allowed to enter their dormitories only between 8am and 11pm every day, the press release added.

University Vice-Chancellor Professor Anwar Hossain hoped that academic activities would go unhindered after the reopening.

On Aug 1, Tahmidul Islam Likhon, a post-graduate student of Economics and leader of a Chhatra League faction, was stabbed by assailants. The pro-government student wing's activists responded violently when the law enforcers went to detain a student in connection with the attack.

Five students were injured when police fired rubber bullets as the agitated students vandalised Mir Mosharraf Hossain Hall Provost's residence and smashed a vehicle of the law enforcers.

Students had to leave their dormitories within Aug 3 when the university authorities announced Eid vacation in advance apparently to avert further violence.
