Protesters blockaded the administrative buildings on Wednesday morning as part of the programme while also blocking university's bus service.
The ‘all-inclusive strike’ will continue for two days, said Prof Raihan Rayeen of Philosophy Department, a spokeperson of the protesters. But the pre-scheduled exams will still take place, he said.
The protesters are likely to bring out a procession on Wednesday afternoon in support to the programme, he said.
The university authorities tried moving the buses out of the transport pool around 1:30 am on Wednesday to prevent the blockade but the protesters foiled their attempt, according to Nazir.
University bus communication was not greatly affected, claimed Prof Ali Azam Talukdar, who is in charge of the transport office at the university.
“We’ll have a meeting to determine an alternative transport plan to facilitate the return trip of students and teachers from Dhaka due to the ongoing blockade.”
Students and teachers of Jahangirnagar University began a protest over the alleged irregularities involving a Tk 15 billion development project in the university.
The two BCL leaders then levelled allegations of corruption at the VC.
A number of Chhatra League leaders in JU also acknowledged receiving Tk 10 million from the VC as ‘Eid tips.’
Both students and teachers demanded a probe against the VC under the circumstances. VC Farzana subsequently held unfruitful meetings with the protesters culminating in calls for her resignation.
