Students from Dhaka College and Dhaka City College have clashed once again, this time over a “bump” while ascending the stairs at a coaching centre in the capital’s Science Laboratory. Dhaka College and City College are less than half a kilometre apart at the Science Laboratory intersection. In late October 2024, City College students demanded the removal of the acting principal and vice-principal. The very next day, City College students allegedly vandalised two buses of Dhaka College on the latter’s 184th founding anniversary. Later, a committee was formed, consisting of representatives from Dhaka College, City College, Ideal College, Birshreshtha Noor Mohammad Public College, Birshreshtha Munshi Abdur Rouf Public College, and police.
