Processions and rallies banned on CMC campus

The authorities of Chattogram Medical College (CMC) have imposed a ban on processions and rallies on the campus as the students locked in clashes twice within the span of a month.

The ban came after two factions of Bangladesh Chhatra League clashed in the hostel on Tuesday, leaving five students injured.

The college authorities issued a circular in this regard today.

In a meeting, the academic council also decided to deploy police at the hostel and asked the students, who are not examinees, to leave the dormitory immediately, CMP Principal Prof Dr Shahena Akter, told to The Daily Star.

"We did not have any options without imposing a ban on procession and rallies on the campus and hostel as the students locked in clashes twice within the span of a month," she said.

The CMC academic council, comprised of around 35 professors of the college, unitedly took the decision in the meeting, she added.
