Authorities closed the Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) until 5 July amid tension gripping the campus following clashes between two factions of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), reports UNB.<\/p>\n
The CUET authorities took the decision on Tuesday after a meeting with the departmental heads.<\/p>\n
All male students have been asked to vacate their halls by 5:00pm on Tuesday while the female ones were asked to vacate their dormitories by 10:00am on Wednesday, said deputy director of CUET Fazlur Rahman.<\/p>\n
The classes and examinations of Honours level will remain suspended while the classes and examinations of Masters will continue, he said.<\/p>\n
According to the university authorities, two factions of CUET unit Chhatra League locked into clashes several times in the last few days over previous enmity.<\/p>\n
As a sequel to the clashes, a group of BCL obstructed the busses carrying teachers, staff, students while heading towards the campus.<\/p>\n
However, some teachers and staff managed to reach the campus using alternative way.<\/p>\n
On 13 June, a group of BCL men, numbering 50, equipped with sticks and sharp weapons were seen patrolling the campus, creating panic among the students.<\/p>\n
Anwar Hossain Shamim, assistant superintendent of Chattogram Rangunia circle, said additional police have been deployed on the campus to avoid further trouble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
