Feni University students block highway with 6-point demand

Feni University students have protested by blocking the Dhaka-Chittagong highway with 6 demands, including the construction of a permanent campus. On Thursday (August 21), the students took up position on the highway in the Mahipal area of ​​the upazila headquarters. This closed two lanes of traffic towards Dhaka and Chittagong. As a result, passengers suffered. The protesting students moved away from the highway after half an hour of the blockade. Traffic on the highway then returned to normal. The students’ 6-point demands include the appointment of a new VC and the introduction of bus transport. The students said that even after 13 years of its establishment, the university has not yet built a permanent campus. This is disrupting their studies. Earlier, the university’s Vice-Chancellor Dr. Jamaluddin Ahmed resigned last night in the face of the movement.
