The University Grants Commission put restrictions on celebrations of rag day, a day on which university students usually take last class and hold different programmes amid fanfare.

In letters to all the public and private universities, the commission asked the authorities concerned to stop all kinds of obscenity, nudity, DJ party, indecent and cruel behaviour, banned activities and bullying in the name of rag day celebrations.

“We place some restrictions on rag day celebrations as per an order of the High Court,” UGC acting chairman Prof Dil Afroza Begum told The Daily Star yesterday.

She categorically said they were not banning the rag day celebrations.
