Students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) blocked a highway on Monday, January 19, 2026, demanding the holding of the university’s central student union election. The protest began after the Nationalist Teachers’ Forum announced it would not perform election duties. Demonstrators gathered in front of the vice-chancellor’s office in the morning and later moved to the main gate, where they blocked the highway.
The movement intensified following a High Court ruling that suspended the SUST Central Student Union (ShakSU) election for four weeks in response to a filed petition. The court’s decision came after the teachers’ forum’s announcement, prompting students to escalate their demonstrations. As of the time of reporting, the blockade was still ongoing.
The situation reflects growing student frustration over delays in the ShakSU election process, with continued protests likely if the suspension remains in effect.
