The funeral prayer of Jannatul Ferdous, a teacher who died suddenly while serving as a polling officer in the JUCSU and hall council elections, was held after Jumma prayers at the university’s central playground.

Proctor AKM Rashidul Alam explained that vote counting could not be completed overnight due to exhaustion and the absence of polling agents. On Friday morning, while heading with colleagues to count votes at the Senate Hall, Ferdous collapsed at the entrance and passed away.

She was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Fine Arts. Her untimely death has cast a pall of grief over the university’s teachers and students.
