Student strike at colleges, universities tomorrow

Dhaka, May 12 (Just News): Quota reform demonstrators will observe a two-hour strike at all the colleges and universities across the country tomorrow as the government failed to issue a gazette notification on abolishing quota system in public service by Thursday.

The strike will be observed from 11:00 am to 1:00pm tomorrow, Hasan Al Mamun, convener of Bangladesh Sadharan Chhatra Adhikar Sangrakkhan Parishad, said while reading out a written statement at a press briefing at the Dhaka University Central Library around 10:30 am.

The protesters demanding reformation in the quota system in civil service on Wednesday threatened to wage tougher movement from Sunday if the government failed to publish a gazette notification to that end by Thursday.
