Human chain, roadblock by IU teachers and students

Around 1000 teachers, officers, staff and general students of the Islamic University (IU) formed a human chain on the campus yesterday, demanding removal of vice-chancellor, pro-vice-chancellor and treasurer of the university.
Yesterday's human chain was a part of the agitation that had been continuing on the campus for the last two months since September 8.
Islamic University Teachers Association (IUTA) organised the programme.
Sources said, before the human chain, the participants brought out a procession on the campus. After parading the campus, they put up a barricade on Kushtia-Khulna highway for half an hour from 11.00.
The teachers criticised the university authorities for clinging to the power although all teachers, officers, staff and general students had rejected them.
The agitation started at IU after a syndicate meeting in September appointed 132 teachers and staffs at the university including daughter of the vice-chancellor as a lecturer at the department of Applied Chemistry. Different teacher's organisations and students fronts brought allegations of massive irregularities in the recruitment process and demanded its cancellation.
No class and examination were held in the last two months.
