Our university is closed indefinitely. Everything was running very well and smoothly without any problem. Even we had started thinking of our current semester to be finished within next December. But suddenly an unexpected incident took place and changed the whole situation. It was nothing but a silly, trifling incident that occurred on the Dhaka University campus on 20 August last, and the agitation took little time to spread out among the general students all over the country. Later, the general students came out and resorted to violence. We hope the universities will soon be reopened in the interest of general students.

I am a postgraduate student of Jahangirnagar University. As students of a public university we are the most inactive people these days. We left the halls after they asked us to vacant the same. Only the students who stay in halls could understand what it really meant. We don't know how long we will remain inactive. We are not sure whether the universities will reopen after Ramadan. A number of poor students study in these public universities. They find themselves in a very difficult situation. The authorities concerned should immediately reopen the universities.
