BCL calls off movement at Ctg Veterinary University

Bangladesh Chhatra League of Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University yesterday called off its movement on the campus following an assurance from Prime Minister's Education Advisor Prof Alauddin Ahmed.
Prof Alauddin and Chittagong City Mayor ABM Mohiuddin arrived the campus in the evening. They assured the agitating students of immediate government step regarding their 21-point demand including the resignation of the vice chancellor.
Chhatra League Convener of the university unit Komol Kanti Majumder then called off the agitation and unlocked Vice Chancellor Nitish Chandra Devnath's office and residence.
"We will consider the investigation of University Grants Commission and the remarks from the mayor and ministries concerned while making decision on VC Nitish," said Prof Alauddin.
He also urged the academics to work hard to make up for the time lost due to the unrest on the campus for the last four months.
The university was closed sine die on December 14 following an indefinite strike by General Students' Forum and Chhatra League unit. Their 21-point demand included resignation of the VC on charge of corruption and nepotism.
The university reopened on April 4.
After reopening BCL activists put the VC's office under lock and key confining him to his evening office-cum residence. Later, they locked his residence as he left for capital to join a conference.
