Sarba Mitra Chakma announces resignation from DUCSU

Sarba Mitra Chakma has decided to resign from his post as an executive member of the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU).

He made the announcement in a Facebook post at around 2:45pm on Monday.

In the post, Sarba Mitra publicly apologised for an incident in which boys and adolescents (outsiders) were made to do sit-ups while holding their ears at the Dhaka University Central Playground and Gymnasium.

He said that although the university’s Physical Education Centre ground is designated exclusively for students, unrestricted access by outsiders over a long period has created serious security risks.

As a result, incidents such as the harassment of female students, theft of mobile phones and wallets, and bicycle thefts have occurred, he added.
