Activists of Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) yesterday vandalised at least 25 buses of Islamic University in Kushtia following a clash with the activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL).
Some 15 students and bus drivers were injured from broken glass pieces during the rampage. They were given first aid.
According to campus sources, a number of BCL activists with lethal weapons swooped on JCD activists when they got to the campus around 10:30am.
Chased away by BCL men, JCD activists then started vandalising university buses coming to the campus on Kushtia-Jhenidah highway.
Law enforcers from Kushtia, Jhenidah and University Police Station rushed to the spot and brought the situation under control. No one has been arrested.
University Proctor Mahbubul Arefin and other teachers and officials also rushed to the spot. All administrative and academic activities of the university remained suspended for the day.
The proctor said stern disciplinary actions would be taken against those involved in damaging university assets.
According to sources, the Awami League student wing BCL has not been allowing JCD on the campus since the AL-led government came to power. BNP's student organisation JCD did the same to BCL when BNP and its allies were in power during 2001-06.
