Dhaka University (DU) Proctor Associate Prof Saifuddin Ahmed on Sunday said that the metro rail station at the Teacher-Student Centre (TSC) on the campus will remain closed on December 16, 25, 31, and January 1 for security reasons.
He revealed the information while talking to reporters at his office in the afternoon.
"I attended a meeting with the Home Affairs Adviser regarding the country's law and order situation. At the meeting, I recommended closing the DU Metro Station for these four days to maintain the overall security of the campus. This proposal has been accepted, and the metro rail authorities will be formally notified soon," he said.
The proctor said that while the university has six entry points that can be shut down if necessary, the metro station provides unrestricted access to outsiders.
He added, "Even if we close the university's entry points, people can still enter through the metro station. Therefore, we suggested closing the station, and the recommendation has been approved."
