Students have blocked the railway line

Students have blocked the railway line demanding that the name of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Digital University in Gazipur be changed to Bangladesh Digital University. This has temporarily closed the rail connection between North Bengal and Dhaka.

(February 24) At around 9:20 am, the students started the blockade by taking a position on the railway line in front of the Hi-Tech Railway Station in Kaliakoir Upazila. Which is still ongoing. The students said that a gazette has been published changing the name of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Digital University to Gazipur Digital University. However, they did not like the name. Therefore, they are now demanding that the name of the university be changed to Bangladesh Digital University.

In this regard, Station Master of Joydebpur Railway Junction, Abul Khair Chowdhury, said that the students have blocked the railway line with their demands. They had stopped the Sirajganj Express train for some time, but later released it. However, train services on that route have been temporarily suspended. Earlier, they held protests and human chains for two more days demanding the university’s name change. In continuation of that, this morning they first gathered in front of the administrative building and protested. Later, they took up positions on the railway line in front of the Hi-Tech Railway Station and started a blockade.
