A tense situation is prevailing among the students of Jahangirnagar University (JU) following the clash between the two rival groups of students belonging to Jatiytabadi Chhatra Dal (JCD) and Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) disrupting the academic atmosphere.

Residential students have started to leave their dormitories as the administration failed to ensure their security. Though the authorities have deployed large number of members of the law enforcing agencies at different points of the university, the rival groups of students locked in skirmishing at intervals.

The law enforcing agency men have already raided two dorms of the university but they could not recover any lethal weapons from the students. Though the rival groups have filed a total of four cases against one another with Savar and Ashulia police stations, none have yet been arrested.

It is thought that some influential teachers of the university are acting as agent provocateurs of this unrest. As a result, the concerned authorities are in a fix to stave off the violence.

It may be mentioned that 80 students including the president, general secretary of BCL and some leaders and activists of JCD were injured following an altercation over cell phone threat to one of the party leaders.

Of them 30 students were injured critically and admitted to different hospital of Dhaka city.
