Transfer of CMC Principal: Students demand withdrawal of order
Students of Chattogram Medical College (CMC) demonstrated yesterday demanding withdrawal of their principal’s transfer.
Under the banner of “General students of CMC”, some 100 students organised a rally on the campus.
The health ministry through a gazette notification on Tuesday ordered to appoint Dr Shamim Hasan, a professor of pediatric department of CMC, as principal and transferred incumbent principal Prof Dr Selim Muhammad Jahangir as a professor at pharmacology department.
Habibur Rahman, president of CMC unit of Bangladesh Chhatra League, said the incumbent principal is a student-friendly principal, so students demanded the withdrawal of his transfer.
Contacted, Prof Selim said he received the transfer order on Tuesday, and has been waiting to hand over responsibilities to the newly-appointed principal.
About the demonstration, he said “They respect me and love me, but I have told them not to demonstrate on this issue.” “It’s an official order and as a government employee, I have to accept it.”
