Meanwhile, a two-day work abstention programme of the Chittagong University Teachers' Association (CUTA) ended on Tuesday.

CUTA observed their two-day work abstention demanding punishment and expulsion of Shibir cadres allegedly led by its CU unit president Jahid Hossain Bhuiyan who attacked and injured Finance department Lecturer Akhter Hossain Piaru on the CU playground on Friday.

CUTA president and general secretary met vice chancellor Professor AJM Nuruddin Chowdhury at his office and gave an ultimatum to fulfill their demand by Friday next. CUTA would declare their next course of action at a general meeting on Saturday if their demands are not met.

PSA, a forum of three left-leaning student organisations, enforced a programme of siege protesting attack on their activists by Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal cadres on Thursday.
