Rajshahi University authorities yesterday launched a drive to remove illegal shops, tea stalls and drive out vendors from the campus to keep RU outsiders-free. Led by proctor Prof Zakaria, a huge number of police demolished several business centres and shops during the drive. Some shop owners and their staff tried to stage demonstration but police dispersed them. Contacted, Prof Zakaria said outsiders and hired goons often gather at the business centres and tea stalls and create chaos on the campus. "The university reopens on June 1 and we are determined to keep the campus outsiders-free", he said.
