BM College students continue agitation
Students of Government Brojo Mohon College here demonstrated on the campus for the third consecutive day Tuesday to press for their 21-point demand, including cut in boarding and meal fees.
The agitating students, who formed a convening committee to realise their demands last week, brought out procession and held a rally on the campus as part of their programmes.
Their demands include cutting hostel seat rents and meal fees, stern action against stalkers, preventing outsiders' entry into the campus, solving of transports, accommodation and class room problems, construction of a gymnasium, medical center and supply of safe drinking water, books and study materials in central and departmental libraries on the campus and recruitment of more teachers.
Mokhlesur Rahman Moni, convener of the committee told UNB that they will meet college principal soon and go for stronger agitation if their demands are not met immediately.
Principal of the college Prof. Dr Nani Gopal Das said the students have democratic rights to agitate in support of their demand. But he said the rate of hostel fee was less here compared to other institutions of Barisal.
