Dhaka:Dhaka University (DU) administration has declared its intention to enact strict legal and administrative measures against individuals involved in sabotage, violence, or activities disrupting the academic and administrative environment on campus.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the decision emerged from an emergency coordination meeting between the university's proctorial team and senior law enforcement officials, aimed at enhancing campus security. The meeting was chaired by DU Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. A B M Obaidul Islam.
The university administration has already taken action by temporarily suspending an employee and issuing a show-cause notice following preliminary evidence of his involvement in a recent cocktail explosion and disorderly conduct on campus. The meeting further resolved to intensify security patrols by law enforcement agencies and to establish joint security checkpoints, involving the proctorial team and the Bangladesh National Cadet Corps (BNCC), at all six university entry points.
Additional measures include heightened surveillance to restrict unauthorized outsider entry, and a mandate for teachers, students, officers, and employees to carry their institutional identity cards at all times. CCTV monitoring will be enhanced for continuous campus surveillance.
The university emphasized the collective responsibility in maintaining a safe, peaceful, and conducive academic environment. It warned that individuals involved in campus disruptions, sabotage, or violence would face stringent punitive measures under university regulations and national laws.
The DU administration urged all stakeholders to cooperate in sustaining campus security, peace, and a normal academic environment.
