DU proctorial body conducting drive against outsiders

Business Eye Report

The Dhaka University proctorial body is conducting a drive against outsiders in the campus amid the ongoing students' movement against quotas in government job on Tuesday. 
At around 4pm in the afternoon, the Teacher Student Committee, under the leadership of the DU proctor, started the campaign to identify outsiders and detain them.
Meanwhile, when the Business Eye inquired about the Chhatra League rally at the foot of the Raju sculpture, proctor Dr Md Maksudur Rahman said, "We are conducting our own operation without law and order forces. We are doing our best. We are asking the outsiders to leave. We are also confiscating any sticks and weapons that we find people carrying."
Members of the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) have gathered in the TSC area of Dhaka University to conduct their pre-announced rally.  Many of them could be seen standing wearing helmets and holding sticks. 
The student wing of the ruling Awami League began its protest rally at 3:45pm. 
BCL activists from Dhaka Metropolitan North, Dhaka College, Titumir College and other units have joined the programme.
At the same time, protesting students started gathering at the Central Shaheed Minar premises to stage their demonstration, as per their pre-scheduled announcement, protesting the attack on students and demanding quota reform.
