Academic activities at Rajshahi University (RU) resumed yesterday amid tight security after 80 days' unscheduled closure. The authorities closed the university indefinitely on March 13 following a clash between Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Islami Chhatra Shibir on campus in which one Shibir leader was killed and 100 others were injured. Later the authorities imposed restriction on movement of outsiders at RU and deployed around 500 law enforcers, including plainclothes police at different entry points to keep the campus violence-free. They also imposed restrictions on rallies, processions and activities of the student bodies on the campus for an indefinite period.
