Ru Munnujan Hall
Security of female students demanded
RU Correspondent
Leaders of different student organisations of Rajshahi University yesterday demanded security of the female students at Munnujan Hall as there was apparently no administration at the dormitory for the last two days. They said there has been a vacuum in the hall administration following the resignation of the hall provost and all house tutors after a probe committee blamed them for their failure to stop violence at the hall a couple of days ago. RU authorities said the resignations were not valid and the teachers intended to resign should ask the Provosts Council, not the vice chancellor. Meanwhile, Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Progressive Students Alliance (PSA) expressed concern over the authorities' reluctance to bring back normalcy at the hall. They warned that the authorities have to bear responsibilities in the case of any untoward incident. Provost Prof Irin Ara Lucy yesterday said they did their best to quell the violence, yet students confined four teachers for 11 hours. "It was not fair that the probe committee criticised our ability", she added. Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal's(JCD) female activists went on the rampage inside the hall in the early hours on July 31 as they were blamed for beating a student. VC Prof Altaf Hossain said he is taking necessary steps in this regard.
