Students from seven affiliated colleges in Dhaka have announced a new phase of their movement demanding the issuance of the final ordinance for the proposed Dhaka Central University. The announcement came on Wednesday afternoon on behalf of Bangla College students, who said that the current sit-in program had been suspended for the day but would resume as a continuous peaceful protest from Thursday.

According to student representative Masum Billah, the coordinated decision was made at Gabtoli Technical intersection. He stated that starting Thursday at 11 a.m., students would hold simultaneous peaceful sit-ins at Science Lab, Technical, and Tantibazar intersections in the capital. The students emphasized that their movement centers on a single demand—the final issuance of the ordinance to establish the proposed university.

Participants described the campaign as a long struggle for their future and rights, asserting that even though the day’s program ended, they would not retreat from their main demand.
