No headway in CVASU deadlock
All exams suspended indefinitely
Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) authorities yesterday suspended all its examinations for indefinite period in the wake of indefinite siege enforced by Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) on Sunday.
The BCL started the siege in protest of CVASU decision to expel and punish their nine party men.
Academic activities at the university were disrupted for the second day yesterday due to the siege.
The CVASU authorities issued the notice of suspending examinations yesterday morning.
CVASU Controller of Examination and President of CVASU Teachers Association Dr Goutam Buddha Das said they had no alternative to suspending the examination in the wake of anarchy created by BCL men on the campus.
He alleged that BCL activists are threatening the teachers and staffs bringing the academic activities virtually to a standstill but police are yet to take any steps against them.
Officer-in-charge (OC) of Khulshi police station Iftekhar Hossain said they were trying to keep the situation under control.
Expelled BCL convener Komol Kanti Mazumder said they would continue their agitation programme until their demands are met.
The university authorities on Saturday expelled five BCL activists for lifetime and punished four other students on charge of assaulting some teachers and staffs of the university.
BCL activists enforced an indefinite siege on the campus on Sunday by locking the administrative and academic buildings protesting the punishment and demanding resignation of Vice Chancellor (VC) Nitish Chadra Devnath.
