PSTU closed sine die?

VC leaves campus
Our Correspondent, Barisal
The Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) has been closed.

Vice-chancellor Dr. Hannan left the campus Saturday night, campus sources said yesterday.

There is confusion oover the closure. The sources said a notice was hung on the notice board Saturday night, which said the university is closed sine die.

But sources close to the VC's office said the university has been closed for Eid-ul-Azha and will reopen after the Eid.

They could not specify any date.

The VC could not be contacted despite repeated attempts.

Agitating PSTU students had been demanidng the VC's "resignation or withdrawal" for alleged misuses of power in appointment of staff. They gave an ultimatum in this regard, which expired on January 23.

Local BNP supports the agitation against the VC, sources said.

Some students said that on Sunday morning, they saw classrooms closed and a sine die closure notice.

The agitation against the VC will continue until his "removal", they said.
