Sher-e-Bangla Medical College students’ class boycott enters day 4

Students of Barishal Medical College continued the class boycott for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday, demanding immediate end of teachers’ shortage to ensure smooth operation of academic activities.

Meanwhile, the protesting students rejected a government notification over the appointment of two lectures for them.

Like on Wednesday, the students staged demonstrations on Bandh Road and formed human chains in the morning, halting traffic movement.

Two main entry gates remained under lock and key and banners reading ‘Complete Shutdown’ at the gates hung.

The administrative and academic activities of the college came to a halt as officials couldn’t enter due to the lock.

The students have been threatening that they will continue the movement until their demand is met.

Currently, 188 out of 334 posts of teachers remain vacant, hampering the academic activities.
