Dhaka:Dhaka University authorities have requested a list of teachers who were absent from classes on November 10 without prior permission.
According to United News of Bangladesh, the authorities have instructed the deans of all faculties and directors of all institutes to submit the names of the absent teachers to the university registrar by 4 pm on Wednesday, November 11.
A letter, signed by the university registrar, was issued on Tuesday to all faculty deans and institute directors regarding this matter. The letter indicates that information had been received about teachers from various departments and institutes not conducting their scheduled classes on the specified date.
Although the letter did not clarify the reason for the directive, a source mentioned that it was connected to a nationwide shutdown called by the banned Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) for November 10. The organization demanded the closure of educational institutions, public transport, offices, courts, and shops, seeking the cancellation of the tribunal verdict against ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the lifting of the ban on the Awami League and Chhatra League.
