Students of Sunamganj Medical College continued their protest for the twelfth consecutive day on Thursday, locking the principal and teachers inside the academic building. They demanded immediate activation of the college hospital, recruitment of sufficient teachers, and an urgent meeting with the Health and Family Welfare Minister. The students said they had been protesting since 2025 but classes continued without the hospital being operational, making their education ineffective. They accused the administration of failing to arrange meetings with the ministry and of ignoring their concerns.
Principal Mostak Ahmed Bhuiyan stated that the students’ two main demands—hospital activation and teacher recruitment—were accepted in a recent Health Ministry meeting. According to him, outpatient services would begin within one and a half months, indoor services in October, and full hospital operations by December. However, the students rejected this roadmap and continued their protest, saying they no longer trusted verbal assurances.
The principal criticized the act of locking teachers, calling it inappropriate despite the ministry’s commitment to their demands.
