Uneasy calm prevailed at Islamic University (1U) yesterday, a day after a fierce clash on the campus between BCL and JCD and Shibir activists.

University sources said most of the classes were suspended due to poor attendance of the students.

"A good number of students did not come to the university as they feel unsafe walking across the campus," said Saifa Tanzan, a second year student of applied chemistry and chemical engineering department.

Additional police were deployed at the main

entrance and different points to fend of further trouble. Leaders and activists of different student bodies, including Bangladesh Chhatra League, were not seen on the campus.

JCD and Shibir men are avoiding campus to escape arrest as three cases were filed against them following the clash on Saturday, sources said.

One case was filed by Registrar Dr Mosleuddin, accusing 100 JCD and Shibir men of vandalising the administrative building while the two others by two

BCL leaders of the university unit.

The BCL leaders sued around 300 JCD and Shibir men on charge of launching an armed attack on their party men on the campus. None of the accused in the cases was arrested as of filing of this report at 5:00pm yesterday.
