Over 100 trees were felled at Jahangirnagar University to construct two new buildings, sparking protests from teachers, students, and two factions of the JU Chhatra Union. The university authorities were accused of unplanned construction without a new master plan. The JU Proctor deflected responsibility, while the project director claimed to have consulted stakeholders. Photo: Auritro Sattar
