Section 144 in force in Chittagong University area
The administration has imposed Section 144 to control the law and order situation after a tense situation arose between local people and students of Chittagong University in Hathazari, Chittagong. According to the decision, Section 144 will be in force in the Hathazari Municipality area of Hathazari Upazila adjacent to Chittagong University and the 10-kilometer area adjacent to the university from 3 pm on Sunday to 3 pm tomorrow (Monday). The upazila administration took this decision after a clash between both sides in the Gate No. 2 area of the university on Sunday (August 31) afternoon. Earlier, several people including the university proctor were injured in several clashes between CU students and locals. In such a situation, the authorities have boycotted all exams. Eyewitnesses said that around 11:30 pm, a student of the philosophy department living in a rented house in the Gate No. 2 area of the university argued with the doorman about entering the house. As a result, tension spread, resulting in a clash between the locals and the university students.
