Jagannath University students marching toward Jamuna with a three-point demand were met with police resistance at Kakrail. Tear gas and sound grenades were used to disperse the crowd. A teacher at the scene reported that at least 50 students were injured, alongside several police personnel. The students vow to continue protesting until their demands are met:

Housing stipends for 70% of students starting FY 2025–26.

Full approval of the proposed university budget without cuts.

Immediate approval and implementation of the second campus project under priority development plans.
