The Dhaka University administration has announced that it will limit the entry of vehicles to the campus from 5pm to 10pm every day.
Only vehicles that carry a DU sticker or are employed by emergency services will be allowed entry to the area. Vehicle entry will also be limited from 3pm on holidays.
The announcement was made in an emergency notice from the Proctor’s Office, according to bdnews24.com.
The notice said that the decision was being taken for the overall safety of Dhaka University students.
No vehicles, other than those with Dhaka University stickers, or those belonging to emergency services (ambulances, doctors, patients, journalists and other government vehicles) will be allowed to enter the campus from 3pm to 10pm on Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays and from 5pm to 10pm on office days, the statement said.
The university had previously begun to control entry to the area by barricading seven entrances at Shahbagh, Doyel Chattar, Burn Unit, Shibbari Crossing, Fuller Road, Palashi intersection and Nilkhet.
Students have expressed satisfaction with the university's decision since Friday.
