A clash broke out between students of Chittagong University and local residents today at noon near Jobra village, adjacent to the university’s No. 2 gate. The incident was triggered when a security guard of a rented house allegedly assaulted a female student. Following the clash, the Hathazari Upazila administration imposed Section 144 in the Chittagong University area, effective until midnight on Monday. The directive was issued in a notice signed by Upazila Executive Officer (UNO) Muhammad Abdullah Al Mumin on Sunday afternoon. Chittagong University falls under the jurisdiction of Hathazari Upazila.
According to the administration’s notice, Section 144 will remain in effect from the eastern side of the No. 2 gate market to the railway gate on both sides of the area. Additionally, gatherings, rallies, protests, or any form of public assembly, as well as the carrying of weapons, are strictly prohibited in the specified area.
