JU students asked to leave campus by 4pm
Jahangirnagar University authorities have indefinitely closed the university and ordered students to vacate halls by 4 PM today following ongoing quota reform protests. The decision, made during an emergency syndicate meeting, was met with resistance from demonstrating students who threw objects at the administration building. Protesters claim the closure is an attempt to halt their movement and bring back BCL members. Police have been deployed on campus, facing off with protesting students who wish to remain peacefully. Tension persists as the situation unfolds. Prothom Alo
