Students of Dhaka Medical College have rejected the authorities’ order to vacate their residential halls, declaring they will remain on campus until their housing-related demands are met. On Saturday, the college was declared closed indefinitely, with a directive for all students to leave their halls by Sunday noon. According to the student, “He [Principal Kamrul Alam] claimed students were staying on the fourth floor even after it was marked unsafe. That is our decision.”Attempts to reach Principal Kamrul Alam for a response to these allegations were unsuccessful. It added the council agreed with the students’ demands and was working closely with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and the Directorate General of Medical Education (DGME).
