Jagannath University (JnU) students blocked the Tatibazar intersection in the capital, demanding that the construction work for the second campus be handed over to the Bangladesh Army.
This demonstration was organized under the banner of “General Students of JnU,” highlighted concerns over alleged corruption in the ongoing construction project.
The students' three-point demand includes replacing the current project director, who was appointed during the “fascist government” era, with a skilled officer from the Bangladesh Army.
Additionally, they seek a formal commitment from the Ministry of Education to hand over the campus construction to the army.
Tousib Mahmud Sohan, a spokesperson for the students, stated that if their demands are not met, they would escalate their protest, vowing to block Tatibazar Road again on Tuesday at noon.
