Detective Branch chief Harunor Rashid says that police have approval to clear university residential halls and no leniency will be given to students who stay after the deadline. He made the remarks to the media outside the residence of the Dhaka University vice chancellor amid the ongoing quota reform protests around 4:45pm. The DB chief came to the TSC area on the campus in the afternoon to monitor the situation in the area. According to the instructions of the Dhaka University Syndicate, students have until 6pm to leave their residential halls. The protesters attempted to breach police barriers again and reach the TSC area, pelting law enforcers with bricks.
