The front started the signature collection yesterday on the campus which will be continued till July 19. It will place the demands along with the signatures to the Ministry of Education, University Grants Commission (UGC) and the university's Vice Chancellor Prof Abdus Sobhan. The other demands include reducing all kinds of increased fees, collection of new books and journals at the university central library and supplying sufficient research equipment at all research laboratories, holding Rajshahi University Cultural Students' Union (RUCSU) election, resuming the activities of Teachers Students Cultural Centre (TSCC), solving transport crisis and ensuring congenial atmosphere on the campus.
