Students of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) lifted a six-hour-long rail blockade on Tuesday evening after receiving assurances from the university administration. Train services on the Dhaka–Mymensingh route resumed around 5 p.m.

Earlier in the day, at around 11 a.m., defying the order to vacate dormitories, students gathered at Jabbar’s Mor and blocked the railway tracks, halting train operations. They also locked the offices of the university treasurer and Pubali Bank’s campus branch in protest.

In response to the unrest, the BAU administration has formed a six-member inquiry committee to investigate the recent attacks on students.
