CUET VC standoff hits 24th day

CHATTOGRAM Oct 15: The academic and administrative deadlock at Chattogram University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) has continued for more than 23 days, with classes, semester final examinations and administrative activities remaining suspended amid a standoff over the appointment of the vice-chancellor.

Newly appointed VC Professor Dr Sheikh Shariful Alam is undergoing treatment at Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH) after being locked inside the university’s administrative building by protesting students for nearly 30 hours earlier this week.
