TANGAIL: Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University (MBSTU) authorities have withdrawn a notice for female married students to vacate their halls of residence.

After the students demanded cancellation of the notice, provost of Alema Khatun Bhashani Hall Dr Roksana Haque Rimi withdrew it. According to the university sources, Alema Khatun Bhashani Hall has 248 seats. After the lockdown was eased and the varsity reopened, more students than ever before applied for seats at the dorm. On December 11 the provost issued a notice asking the married students to leave the dorm within January 30.

Vice-Chancellor (VC) Dr ARM Solaiman said according to the varsity laws it is restricted for married students to stay at the dorms but considering various facts this law is no more in use.

The previous notice was given in accordance to the law but as the resident students reacted over the notice, it was withdrawn, the VC said.
