Take steps in 6 months to hold Ducsu polls: HC

Dhaka, Jan 17 (Just News): The High Court today directed the Dhaka University authorities to take necessary steps within the next six months to hold Ducsu (Dhaka University Central Student’s Union) election.

The HC bench of Justice Syed Md Dastagir Hossain and Justice Md Ataur Rahman Khan came up with the directive following a writ petition filed by 25 DU students in 2012 seeking its directive for holding the Ducsu election.

The last elections to the Ducsu took place 27 years ago on June 6, 1990. Student organisations, especially the left leaning ones, demanded the polls on numerous occasions.
