English department students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (Sust) yesterday laid siege to the department's office to press home several demands, including resignation of its head Prof Atiullah. They also staged a sit-in before the department and handed over a memo to the vice-chancellor. They raised a number of allegations in their memo including delay in result publication and financial and other irregularities in the department. The students later suspended the agitation programmes following assurance from the VC of taking necessary measures immediately. Contacted, Sust Registrar Ishfaqul Hossain confirmed the situation.
