A group of students of Government Titumir College are on fast unto death from Wednesday afternoon, demanding to transform the college into a university. Currently the agitating students have blocked Mohakhali areas Amtoli to Gulshan-1 road.
The students began the hunger strike around 5 pm in front of the college's main gate under the banner ‘Fast unto death demanding the state recognition of Titumir University’ and presented a seven-point demand.
The demands include giving the state recognition of Titumir University and publishing university academic calendar; forming Titumir University administration and operating admission activities; ensuring housing for 100 percent students or bearing their residential costs immediately; and launching the law and journalism departments.
