Students of seven government colleges are staging a sit-in in front of Shikkha Bhaban in the capital, demanding the promulgation of the ‘Dhaka Central University Ordinance’ within the next three working days.

The students brought out a procession in the morning and took position in front of the Shikkha Bhaban around 11 am, halting traffic on the road and in the surrounding areas from Shikkha Bhaban towards the Secretariat.

The protesters said they would not leave the streets until a government representative comes and gives them the assurance of promulgating the ordinance.

They said the government had called their representatives for a discussion but they rejected the proposal.

They warned that if their demands are not met, they would announce tougher programmes, including separate demonstrations, at their respective colleges and sit-ins in front of the offices concerned.
