The students also placed their nine-point demand in a rally chaired by Mustahim Jaman Imon.

The demands include stopping felling of the trees, operation of college student Union, reduction of women's dormitory fees and distribution of admission forms free of cost.

Blaming the negligence of college Principal Sham-Ul- Haque, the students in the rally said he has been committing misdeeds one after another after becoming the principal.

They threatened to enforce tougher agitations if their demands are not met.
