Students lock Bogra IHT building, block road

Over two hundred students of Institute of Health Technology (IHT) here yesterday locked their administrative building in the town to press home their 10-point demand.

The demands include, establishing a separate Bangladesh Diploma Medical Board, holding examinations in due time, reducing session-fees and appointment of experienced teachers.

The agitated students under the banner of Chhatra Sangram Parishad blocked the Sherpur-Bogra road for nearly an hour by burning tyres and chanting slogans in favour of their demands.

Later, they removed the barricades after several high officials of the district police rushed to the spot and assured them of placing their demands the authorities concerned, said AHM Foyzur Rahman, officer in-charge of Sadar Police Station.

Aynul Haque, convener of the Chattra Sangram Parishad, said earlier they brought out a rally on November 15 and staged a human chain programme on November 26 to press home their demands.
