Hundreds of Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) students of two colleges in Mohimaganj on Wednesday protested shifting of examination centre 12 kilometer away from the local centre. Following the decision to shift the examination centre to Gobindaganj upazila, the students of Mohimaganj Degree College and Mohimaganj Girls' College brought out a procession and blocked a train for about two hours. During the protest, they said the decision caused untold sufferings to female students who had to take the examinations at such a long distance. The angry students also threatened to go for further agitation programme if the decision is not cancelled immediately. As per recent directive of education ministry, no candidate can sit for HSC examinations at their local centre, said ATM Motiur Rahman, principal of Mohimaganj Degree College.
