MMC teachers protest attack on admin bldg
The teachers of Mymensingh Medical College (MMC) brought out a silent procession on the campus yesterday protesting attack on the administrative building by BCL men on Wednesday.
BCL enforced an indefinite strike at MMC from Wednesday as college authorities postponed students' union election, scheduled for June 18. The BCL activists locked the gate of the administrative building and vandalised its rooms
After the incident, the college authorities lodged a general diary (GD) with Sadar Police Station and also formed a three-member committee to investigate the incident.
The BCL college unit also took out a procession and held a rally on the campus yesterday protesting postponement of the election. No classes and examinations were held.
The college authorities on Monday postponed the election, saying that final examinations of first, second and third year students will begin from July 1. “It is very difficult for us to hold the election, hampering the academic activities on the campus,” said MMC Principal Prof Motiur Rahman.
Earlier on May 30, the BCL MMC unit went on an indefinite strike demanding college students union. They withdrew the strike on the following day after the college authorities assured them of holding the election in the shortest possible time.
Following a discussion with the BCL leaders, the authorities fixed July 18 to hold the election, college sources said.
On the other hand, Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) MMC unit has boycotted the election, alleging that the campus atmosphere is not conducive to holding election. In a memorandum submitted to the college authority recently, the JCD demanded a congenial atmosphere on the campus and safe stay of their supporters at college dormitories for a peaceful election.
