SUST Vice-Chancellor Aminul Haque Bhuiyan has also expressed his solidarity with BCL, the student front of the ruling Awami League.
Students blocked the Sylhet-Sunamganj road since Thursday morning, suspending traffic on the road since 8am. The blockade on the highway was removed around 11am, but the protestors' blockade at SUST main entrance continued.
A central committee member of BCL's SUST unit Uttam Sarkar was assaulted with sharp weapons by a group of miscreants on Wednesday.
No classes and exams have been held since Thursday morning.
Meanwhile SUST VC has expressed his solidarity with the pro-strike students.
