How many universities are needed in Bangladesh?
The students of Government Titumir College in the capital have called off their movement after the government assured them that a committee would be formed to consider converting the college into a university. The students had been protesting for several days demanding university status for their institution. On Tuesday afternoon, a delegation of the students went to the Secretariat for discussions. During the talks, the government assured them that a committee would be formed within 7 working days to address the demand. Earlier, on Monday, the students had blocked roads and railways throughout the day, causing near paralysis in the capital. There were reports in the media that some of the agitated students threw bricks at moving trains, injuring several people, including children.
