Kushtia students lock up chairman’s room demanding more classrooms

The students of Bengali department of Islamic University in Kushtia locked up the chairman’s room and classrooms on Thursday demanding more classrooms.
The lack of sufficient class rooms was hampering the academic activities of the Bengali department, the students said. Only three classrooms were allocated for 500 students of seven batches of this department, they added.
Campus sources said the Bengali departments’ students locked up chairman’s room and gathered in front of dean office at about 11:30am chanting slogan for demanding more class rooms.
Later, the students opened the lock after getting assurance of allocation more class rooms by IU proctor and Bengali departments’ chairman.
‘Most of the time we waste our time locating classrooms. The masters students are most of the sufferers,’ said, Nurunnahar, a masters student of the Bengali department.
The chairman of the Bengali department said he had already informed the IU authority. If the authority allotted more budgets, the work for building new classrooms would be started in next week, he said.
