Ctg veterinary univ closes sine die for campus violence

Chittagong Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (CVASU) was closed for an indefinite period following a chase and counter chase between two groups of students yesterday.

Vice Chancellor Goutam Buddha Das declared the closure after a meeting with the teachers.

Campus sources said there was a clash between the students of the veterinary medicine faculty and the fisheries faculty during a cricket match on the campus on Monday.

The university authorities settled the crisis on that day through a meeting.

The veterinary medicine students, however, got the fisheries students out of the dormitory yesterday, leading to the chase and counter chase on the campus, said Sub-inspector Md Shahjahan of Khulshi Police Station.

Khalilur Rahman, assistant director of CVASU, said the male students had already left the dormitory and the female ones would leave today.
