Three leaders have resigned from the newly formed Jhenidah district unit of the Chhatra Dal. The announcement came on Saturday afternoon at Payra Chattar in the town, following a protest rally organized by leaders and activists who were denied positions in the new committee.

The resigning leaders are former organizational secretary and newly appointed senior vice president Sayedur Rahman Shahed, senior joint secretary Abdus Salam, and joint secretary Bokhtiar Mahmud. Earlier in the day, a protest procession started from Wazir Ali School ground under the banner of deprived leaders and activists, marched through various streets, and ended at Payra Chattar with a brief rally. Speakers at the rally alleged that dedicated activists were excluded from the new committee and that those included were not given appropriate posts. They demanded the dissolution of the newly announced committee and the formation of a new one with dedicated members.

Following the rally, the three leaders formally announced their resignations from the newly formed committee.
