All Fundraising Accounts Closed, Claim Protesting Students

Six accounts of financial transactions of students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) have been shut down, demanding the resignation of the vice-chancellor.

The protesting students complained that the accounts were closed on Monday (January 24) evening.

According to the students, in any program of SUST, former and current students form a joint venture fund. This movement was also collecting money in the same way. However, no transaction is going to be done on these numbers since Monday evening.

They are unable to make any transactions from a total of six accounts including Rocket, Cash, Bkash and Bank accounts. Calls to these phone numbers are not coming and going.

The students have been on a hunger strike since 3 pm on January 19. 24 students initially took part in the strike. Later five more students joined the mass fast. Besides, 125 hours of hunger strikes have passed but this problem has not been solved.

During the protest, the agitating students disconnected the power supply of the residence of Vice-Chancellor Professor Farid Uddin Ahmed at 6:30 pm on Sunday. He has been under blockade for 24 hours.
