Admission seekers throng DU to submit forms
DU Correspondent
A large number of admission seekers thronged Dhaka University (DU) yesterday while the number of regular students was thin, on the university's reopening day after month-long Eid and Puja vacation and 11 days of unscheduled closure.Against this backdrop of political unrest, university authorities yesterday suspended all the scheduled examinations until November 18. Admission seekers were seen buying and submitting admission forms for the session of 2006-2007 queuing for long time at the Arts Building, TSC and Curzon Hall and Registrar Building of the university. A number of admission seekers said they were to hurry as the 14-party might call countrywide blockade and they might not submit forms within the last day on November 16. On the reopening day, the university campus was buzzed with different student bodies' programmes. BNP-backed student body Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) took part in a procession on the campus and held a rally in the morning, where central and DU unit leaders addressed. In the afternoon, JCD organised a separate rally at the Central Shaheed Minar protesting "Awami League's countrywide anarchy and violence". Former JCD leaders including Amanullah Aman, Fazlul Haq Milon, Khairul Kabir Khokon, Nazimuddin Alam, Shahiduddin Chowdhury Annie, Azizul Baree Helal, Shafiul Bari Babu and other leaders spoke. Awami League-backed student front Bangladesh Chhatra League's (BCL) dissident leaders and activists took part in separate procession and held a rally on the campus. On the other hand, the central body of the BCL and DU unit did not enter the campus, as the JCD barred them from entering the campus.
