Students ransack RU hall provost's room

It was the first boys' residential hall established in 1960. Hundreds of students staged a demonstration in front of the hall yesterday morning and chanted slogans, sources said.

They also requested the provost to come to the hall over phone to discuss the issue but he did not respond. At one stage agitating students ransacked his room and set fire to papers in the room.

Hearing the news, RU Proctor Enamul Haque and Student Advisor Prof Zahid Hassan rushed to the sport but the agitating students assaulted them. The students said that they informed Provost Prof Afrauzzman Khan and Vice Chancellor Prof Altaf Hossain about the matter earlier but their demands were ignored.

The student also threatened to enforce tougher movements against the hall provost and RU VC if their demands are not met with in three days.
