Jagannath University (JnU) Professor Dr. Roich Uddin announced that teachers and students will begin a mass hunger strike after Friday prayers, demanding justice and protection of their rights. “Despite being attacked by the police, we’ve received no response from the administration even after 35 hours,” he said.

A rally of current and former JnU members is scheduled for 10 AM on Friday at the protest site. Additionally, May 14 will be observed as a “Black Day” at JnU to protest the police attacks on teachers, students, and journalists.
