At Chittagong University, the banned student organization Chhatra League continues to operate despite a government prohibition upheld by the current administration. Following the fall of the Hasina government after the July uprising, the interim government banned the group, and the subsequent BNP-led government maintained the ban through legislation. University sources report that since then, the group has carried out around nine separate activities, including poster campaigns, national day observances, and demonstrations demanding the withdrawal of the ban and release of detained members.

The organization’s central executive committee recently announced plans to form a new university unit, inviting applications from interested members. Their continued presence has raised concern among students, particularly those involved in the July uprising, who fear for their safety. Leaders from other student groups, including Jatiya Chhatra Shakti, Chhatra Dal, and Chhatra Shibir, have accused the university administration of inaction and blamed internal political divisions for enabling the banned group’s resurgence.

University authorities acknowledged limited CCTV coverage and said a committee has been formed to expand surveillance across the campus to address security concerns.
