RU Eid vacation extended till Nov 9

The decision was taken at an emergency Syndicate meeting held at the vice chancellor's (VC) lounge yesterday noon. VC Prof Altaf Hossain chaired the meeting.

Administrative and academic activities of the university will now resume on November 10 instead of November 1.

Residential halls will also open on the day.

On contact, the VC declined to elaborate the reason of extending the vacation.

Islami Chhatra Shibir cadres have reportedly taken shelter in different halls to carry out destructive activities on the campus, sources said.

Meanwhile, the university authorities will distribute admission forms on November 4. The forms will be available at RU website (www.ru.ac.bd) and respective departments free of cost. An amount of Tk 100 will have to be deposited during submission of the forms, university sources said.
