Feni students on Thursday blocked Dhaka-Chattogram highway to press home their six-point demand, including permanent campus and shuttle bus services.
The students took to the street at noon at Mohipal in Sadar upazila, halting vehicular movement on the highway for three hours from 11:00am.
The other demands include banning student politics on the campus, change of board of trustees, appointment of vice-chancellor, adequate number of teachers and other staff.
They also brought out a procession in Hazari Road area, chanting various slogans.
Maisha Akter, a student of the university, said that despite raising their demands for a long time, they had received nothing but empty promises.
鈥榃e鈥檝e now taken to the highway as a last resort. Without a permanent campus, the UGC may place our university on a 鈥榬ed list鈥�, putting thousands of students amid uncertainty鈥�, she added.
Sajidul Islam, another student, said that they had boycotted classes to force the authorities to fulfil their demands.
On Wednesday, Feni University vice-chancellor Professor M Jamal Uddin Ahmed resigned amid growing unrest.
Md Ariful Islam Siddique, additional superintendent of Feni Sadar circle, said that police dispersed the students from the highway with a promise to sit with the deputy commissioner over their demands.
On August 13 last year, the students submitted a 15-point demand for the development of the university.
On February 18 last, they again staged a sit-in to press home their demands.
