Officials led by Directorate of Students’ Welfare Director Md Mizanur Rahman sealed off the room No. 321 of BUET BCL President Jamius Sunny at Ahsanullah Hall and General Secretary Mehedi Hasan Rasel’s room No. 3012 at Sher-e-Bangla Hall on Saturday.
“We’ve started sealing off the rooms of students who are staying illegally in the halls. We sealed off three to four rooms as a symbolic step on the first day,” Mizanur said.
The rooms were sealed off because the occupants did not have legitimate right to stay there, he said.
“This operation will continue and the provosts will lead it in their halls,” he added.
“An operation to evict all political and non-political irregular students and non-students from the halls is going on. We’ve assured the authorities of cooperation,” he said.
The authorities also sealed off the BCL office in room No. 121 of Ahsanullah Hall, according to Sunny.
The authorities earlier in the day issued a notice instructing officials to evict illegal students and seal off the offices of the student organisations.
As per the protesters’ demands, the notice also said students accused of ragging or torture will face maximum punishment in the soonest possible period through the disciplinary committee.
The demonstrators have suspended their programmes for Oct 13 and 14 to let the administration hold admission tests after the authorities met all their demands and fulfilled the five conditions they set to allow the admission tests.
