Turbulent Eden College

Eden University College is a state-run higher education institution for girls. It is a matter of grave concern that recently some influential women cadres of the ruling party have taken possession of the dormitories, driving out the bona fide students. Their seats have allegedly been given to others for Tk 10, 000 each by the so called "leaders". One wonders what is the role of the college authorities in the whole affair. The students have not only been evicted but they have also been assaulted physically. We witnessed the incidents on the TV screen. Being a guardian of a Master part student, I am very much concerned to witness such activities and very disappointed to think that no action has yet been taken against the marauding students who are not regular students at all.

The government should take stern action against the culprits and the innocent should get justice.
