Rabindra University students are protesting by blocking the railway line in Ullapara, Sirajganj, demanding the construction of a permanent campus. This has closed rail communication with the capital. Today, Wednesday (August 13), students took up position at the Ullapara rail gate at 9 am. Teachers, officials and employees also participated in the program in solidarity with them. The protesters said that even though 9 long years have passed since the establishment of the university, a permanent campus has not been built yet. As a result, students are deprived of quality teaching and various facilities. Earlier, the students held various programs including highway blockades demanding the construction of a permanent campus. At this time, the protesters also warned of more stringent programs if urgent steps are not taken to fulfill their demands.
