Sirajganj saw heightened student protests on Thursday as Rabindra University students blocked the highway at the western end of the Jamuna Bridge, pressing for the establishment of a permanent campus. The hour-long blockade ended after students issued a 72-hour ultimatum to authorities.
Students expressed frustration that, despite nine years since the university’s inception, no permanent campus has been built—depriving them of quality education facilities and essential amenities. They urged swift action to commence construction. Faculty members, administrative staff, and other employees joined in solidarity with the demonstrators.
