Saying that the problem will be resolved, the press secretary of the interim government's chief adviser, Shafiqul Alam, has urged the students who have taken up the protest at the government's Titumir College to remain calm.
He made this appeal at a briefing of the chief adviser's press wing at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital on Monday (November 18) evening on current affairs.
Shafiqul Alam said, "I would like to tell the brothers and sisters of Titumir College to remain calm. Talks are underway regarding the 7 colleges. We hope that an immediate solution will be found."
Meanwhile, students have blocked the road in front of the campus again after the decision to form a commission to convert Titumir College into a university was not announced. This has stopped traffic in the area.
The students blocked the road after 6 pm on Monday (November 18).
Earlier, they protested by blocking the railway and road in the capital's Mohakhali area from 11 am to 4 pm. This stopped traffic from both sides.
During the program, the students announced that they would not return to the college unless the relevant officials of the Ministry of Education gave specific assurances. Then, in the afternoon, the ministry proposed a meeting with the student delegation. In response, a delegation of 12 students from Titumir went to the secretariat around 3 pm.
