RU celebrates sea victory

Students and teachers of Rajshahi University (RU) yesterday brought out a colourful procession on the campus to celebrate the historic victory of Bangladesh in achieving the rights over 200 nautical miles of the Bay of Bengal.
On March 14, Bangladesh won the verdict at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, which sustained its claim to 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic and territorial rights in the Bay of Bengal, rejecting the claims of Myanmar.
Over 500 teachers and students took part in the procession organised by law and justice department of the university.
Terming the victory landmark and historical achievement of Bangladesh, law faculty Dean Anisur Rahman urged the government to strengthen Navy and Coast Guard to protect resources and minerals in the Bay of Bengal.
