Dhaka University has closed down the makeshift tea stalls at Teacher-Student Centre (TSC), citing “security issues”.
Some tea-vendors of TSC said the proctorial body asked them to close their stalls last night showing security reasons as cause.
“All makeshift stalls have been ordered to shut down in campus to ensure hygienic food, security and proper environment for education,” said Prof AKM Golam Rabbani, proctor of Dhaka University.
TSC, an everyday gathering commonplace for students and visitors, has been under the cosh in the past couple of months as the authority’s ‘concern’ with security has grown to a new height.
On October 17, Dhaka University imposed a controversial decision to wrap-up cultural and social activities at TSC by 8:00pm.
