Students of Begum Rokeya University (BeraUB) have begun an indefinite hunger strike demanding the immediate announcement of a roadmap for student union elections. The strike began at noon on Sunday in front of the university’s administrative building under the banner of general students. They alleged that despite repeated appeals and protests since the July Revolution, the administration has failed to provide any clear timeline. Vice-Chancellor Dr. Md. Shawkat Ali stated that a proposal to incorporate the Student Union Act into the University Act has been sent to relevant authorities. “The matter now depends on the UGC and the President’s approval. It will be resolved soon, though no exact date can be given,” he said.
