Dhaka University will reopen on October 23 after 61-day unscheduled closure following a student violence on the campus while academic activities will resume from 28 October.

University authority will only allow the students who bear green or yellow cards to enter the respective dormitories, sources said. The authority directed the Hall authorities to take necessary measures in this regard.

The University was closed on October 22 following a government direction as a sequel to student unrest.

Students of the University will face acute session jam for almost five months as the authority postponed about 640 examinations of different Departments and Institutes due to the unscheduled closure.

The postponed examinations are expected to resume from November, said Acting Examination Controller Bahalul Haque.

Vice-chancellor Prof SMA Faiz said the activities of the University would resume normally.

He said that they discussed with Deans, Hall Provosts and Chairmen about the University's reopening and they have reached a unanimous decision in this regard. They would not declare any programme to free the arrested teachers after the reopening of the university because the government was showing positive attitude towards the teachers` demand, he said.
