Dhaka Medical College (DMC) is set to reopen this weekend after nearly three weeks of closure, as authorities announced the resumption of academic activities and the reopening of student hostels following unrest over housing and infrastructure demands, reports bdnews24.com. An emergency meeting of the college's academic council on Tuesday decided that classes will resume from Saturday, while all halls will reopen at 08:00am on Friday. "Our students want to return to class. But with the college and hostels closed, their academic progress has been severely disrupted," DMC Principal Dr Md Kamrul Alam said on Wednesday. The DMC students have been boycotting classes since May, demanding improvements in housing and academic facilities.
