Passengers suffer as students block road

The students of Gopalganj Government Bangabandhu University College yesterday put up blockade on Dhaka-Khulna highway demanding permission for registration of the 'additional' students of honours first year.

Taking position on Dhaka-Khulna highway in front of Gopalganj Police Lines at around 12:30pm, they chanted different slogans.

As the blockade continued for about one and a half hours, a large number of vehicles got stranded on both sides of the important highway.

Eighty students were admitted in addition to the usual capacity of the college in 2008-09 academic session upon verbal assurance by the dean of National University, Al Hussain Mamun, general secretary of the college students union, said.

But academic life of those students has become uncertain as the university authorities are now dilly-dallying about their registration, he said.

The students union has announced transport strike from morning to 2:00pm and closure of all business firms in the district town today (Wednesday).
