Titumir College students continue hunger strike 

The students of Government Titumir College have been continuing their hunger strike demanding university status of their college. 

During a visit it was seen that some students continued their hunger strike in front of the college’s main entrance in Mohakhali for the third consecutive day on Friday.

Titumir Oikya adviser Nur Mohammad said, “Yesterday, the joint secretary of the ministry of education could not assure us of anything. We condemn the farce in the name of feasibility test in the last 5 months. We are adamant on our seven-point demand.” 

About the new program, he said, “Our hunger strike has passed 41 hours. However, we have not yet received any expected results. If there is no message from the state regarding the recognition of the university, we will announce our program on the official page of Titumir Oikya later.”

On Thursday, hundreds of students of the college gathered in front of the college and blocked Gulshan-Mohakhali road to press home their demands around 12:00pm. That created a huge traffic jam on both sides of the road.

The students later withdrew the blockade at night but continued their hunger strike.
