Hundreds of protesters gathered at the Shaheed Minar premises on the campus in Savar on Saturday morning and began breaking into the halls around 1pm. The demonstrators later left the halls and took position on the campus.
They allege insecurity after the clashes with the residents of a village named Gerua, next to the university on the outskirts of Dhaka.
Before entering the halls, the students marched towards the residence of Vice-Chancellor Farzana Islam and staged a sit-in outside her home demanding that the authorities reopen the dormitories, now closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
