Dhaka University authorities have decided to close all campus entry points temporarily to ensure security during the burial of Shaheed Sharif Osman Hadi. The administration urged teachers, students, and staff to avoid gathering on campus, citing safety concerns. Officials apologized for any inconvenience caused to the public due to the restricted access.

Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) deployed a large number of officers around the funeral venue, nearby streets, and open spaces to prevent any disorder. Many officers were equipped with body-worn cameras to record and monitor activities in real time. According to sources, the live footage was being observed continuously from the DMP control room.

The heightened security measures reflect the authorities’ intent to maintain order during the emotionally charged event. Similar absentee funeral prayers were held at other universities, including Chittagong and Begum Rokeya University, as tributes poured in for Hadi, whose death has been described as a significant national loss.
