Students of fine arts department of Rajshahi University (RU) yesterday staged a one hour sit-in in front of administration building demanding immediate withdrawal of all additional examination fees. The agitating students holding banners and placards also pressed for their 6-point demand. Their demands include immediate restart of examination, withdrawal of practical examination fees and additional admission fees and stopping harassment of students. The students also gave a three-day ultimatum to RU authorities and threatened to stage a hunger strike on the campus if their demand were not met. Earlier, the agitating students formed a human chain in front of the administrative building premises in favour of their demands. They also met vice chancellor Prof Abdus Sobhan and submitted a memorandum.
