Students of Government Brojomohun (BM) College blocked road in front of the main gate of the college to press home their five-point demand including resolving the accommodation crisis, halting vehicular movement from Natun Bazar to Nathullabad road on Wednesday.
The students of BM College gathered at zero point of the college around 10 am and brought out a procession on the campus.
They also put the administrative building of the college under lock and key and took to the street, disrupting vehicular movement.
Students said BM College has over 30,000 enrolled students but lacks adequate housing facilities.
They also complained of frequent waterlogging on the campus during rainfall and demanded immediate renovations of drainage system and surrounding roads.
The other demands include renovating the auditorium, upgrading various academic departments and addressing the shortage of faculty by recruiting an adequate number of teachers.
The students vowed to continue their movement until their demands are met.
Kotwali police station officer-in-charge Mizanur Rahman said,” The college authorities are discussing with the students and I hope they will withdraw the blockade soon.”
