In the wake of several cocktail explosions on the Dhaka University campus, the university authorities have decided to impose restrictions on vehicle movement and the entry of outsiders to ensure overall security. The decision was communicated through an emergency notice issued by the Office of the Proctor of Dhaka University on Saturday.
The notice stated that in light of the prevailing situation, the entry and movement of vehicles for everyone except teachers, students, officers, and employees will remain regulated in the interest of the overall security of the campus and its students.
Which Vehicles Will Be Allowed
The university authorities have said that certain vehicles will be permitted entry into the campus for emergency purposes. These include vehicles bearing Dhaka University stickers, ambulances, and those carrying doctors, patients, journalists, ride-sharing services, and food delivery personnel. However, the authorities reserve the right to search any individual or vehicle in the interest of security.
The Cocktail Blast Incident
The notice mentioned that 8-9 cocktail explosions recently took place on the Dhaka University campus, and three individuals have been arrested in connection with the incidents. The decision to tighten security measures comes as a direct response to these events.
The move by the university authorities is being viewed as an effort to maintain discipline and security on campus. However, stakeholders are keeping a close watch on how effectively the new regulations are implemented and what impact they may have on regular students and staff.
