Cops obstruct Chhatra Union march to PMO
DU proctor, cops on duty that day
Police yesterday stopped a procession of Bangladesh Chhatra Union that was heading towards the Prime Minister's Office to submit mass signatures the union collected in its campaign to stop sexual harassment of females.
On May 19, the union launched a countrywide campaign to collect 10 lakh signatures in support of its 6-point demand regarding the mass molestation of females on Pahela Baishakh at Dhaka University.

The demands of the organisation include immediate arrest of the perpetrators, removal of the DU proctor and punishment for cops who were negligent on that day.
The left-leaning students' organisation first brought out a procession on the DU campus. They then organised a sit-in in front of the National Museum after facing a barricade of at least 100 armed personnel.
Afterwards, a five-member team was allowed to go to the PMO. They submitted the signatures to a PMO official who promised to forward those to the prime minister.
