Continued agitation disrupts JU activities
Academic and administrative activities were partially held at Jahangirnagar University (JU) as the agitating teachers' all-out strike continued to the second day yesterday.
A very few departments could hold classes and examinations due to the agitators' boycott of classes and all other professional activities to press home their demand.
The protesting teachers laid siege to the administrative building preventing all, including the registrar, from attending office. They also obstructed operation of the university transports.
A section of JU teachers under the banner "Shikkhak Samaj" launched a 10-day agitation Tuesday, demanding the resignation of the vice-chancellor as he denied their demands.
Their demands include stopping the appointment of teachers, holding elections for the post of the VC, senate, syndicate and deans, and giving punishment to ex-proctor Prof Arzu Miah.
Meanwhile, the VC has decided to talk to journalists at a press conference today to inform them of the current situation of JU campus.
