CU unlocked after 2 days

CU Correspondent
Authorities of Chittagong University (CU) early today broke open the locks on the university main gate and faculty buildings ending a two-day siege of the campus by activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League.
The university administration accompanied by police broke the locks open around 12:30am. Chhatra League locked the main gate and faculty buildings early Saturday demanding resignation of CU Vice-chancellor Prof Badiul Alam.
CU Chhatra League President Abul Mansur Jamshed said they did not resist the locks being taken off as "the party" did not want this. He said they would declare further agitation programmes to realise their demands around noon today.

Chhatra League is the student wingofAwami League.
Sharif Uddin, additional superintendent of police, said five platoons of police were deployed on the campus to maintain law and order.
Earlier, CU Assistant Proctor Anwar Hossain told The Daily Star that he telephoned Chhatra League leaders about unlocking the gates and the leaders assured him of not interfering.
Talking to The Daily Star Prof Alam said, "I was appointed by the government through a process and I will leave the post ifthegovernment wants."
Classes and examinations were not held yesterday but shuttle trains connecting the university with Chittagong city plied as usual carrying a handful of students.
Mohammad E r s h a d Hossain, general secretary of Chhatra League CU unit, told The Daily Star, "We are observing the situation. Our ultimatum will expire Monday noon and then we would announce our next courseofaction."
"We want coexistence of members of all student organisations in the university dormitories. But the incumbent VC is patronising the Islami Chhatra Shibir and it limits the opportunity for coexistence," he added.
On Saturday, activists of Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wing of Jamaat-e-lslami. barred two Chhatra League activists from boarding at Hasan Cottage, a rented house in front of Shah Amanat Hall. The Shibir men also assaulted them and put the cottage under lock and key, sources said.
Protesting the incident, the Chhatra League men brought out a procession and locked all the faculties resulting an abrupt halt to the academic and administrative activities.
BCL activists also laid siege to the VC's residence and issued a 48-hour ultimatum for his resignation. Agitating Chhatra League men also vandalised windowpanes of the proctor office and some chairs of the Chittagong University Central Students’ Union (CUCSU) Saturday morning.
