After officials, teachers at Rajshahi University have also withdrawn their ongoing shutdown program.

The decision came Thursday afternoon following verbal assurances from the vice-chancellor. Teachers stated they want to restore academic activities and prepare for a proper RUCSU election. However, they demanded exemplary punishment for those involved in recent incidents of harassment.

A day earlier, RU Officers’ Association also suspended their strike for seven working days based on administrative assurances, warning of stricter programs if demands remain unmet.
