They locked the main gates of Dhaka University’s academic and administrative buildings for the second straight day on Monday. In February 2017, the government affiliated Dhaka College, Eden Mohila College, Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College, Kabi Nazrul Government College, Begum Badrunnesa Government Mohila College, Mirpur Government Bangla College and Government Titumir College with Dhaka University. The students of seven colleges had previously staged several protests over a five-point demand in April and later suspended them after the vice chancellor of the university had pledged to resolve the issues. The academic and administrative activities slowed down, after the seven colleges were affiliated to the DU, according to the university students. The agitated students also demanded providing separate certificates to them, mentioning the names of colleges with separate colour and design before removing the institutions from the affiliation list.
