Students from seven government colleges in Dhaka have begun constructing an 'Ordinance Stage' to press for the Dhaka Central University ordinance. The work started around noon on Monday, January 19, in front of Dhaka College. Wooden and bamboo structures are being set up on the sidewalk near the main gate. Additional mobile stages are being prepared near Bangla College, Kabi Nazrul and Suhrawardy colleges, and Titumir College. According to movement spokesperson Abdur Rahman, four stages, including one mobile truck stage, will host discussions and cultural programs across the campuses.

The Ministry of Education announced on Sunday, January 18, that the final draft of the Dhaka Central University ordinance has been completed and sent to the Cabinet Division for approval. The ministry urged all concerned to refrain from activities that could disrupt public life, warning that emotional or unstable actions might undermine the progress achieved so far.

Depending on the government’s update expected Wednesday, students plan either a 'March for Jamuna' if the update is negative, or a joint rally from Science Lab if it is positive.
