Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) witnessed intense demonstrations on Friday as students took to the streets despite the weekend holiday, demanding the immediate reinstatement of Professor Dr. Abu Sadat Muhammad Sayem as Vice-Chancellor. The protest march, organized by general students, began at around 2:00 PM in front of the university's central mosque and traversed key roads across the campus before concluding at the main administration building.
Chanting slogans such as "We want Sayem Sir back as VC," the agitation entered its 11th consecutive day. Participating students expressed deep dissatisfaction over administrative decisions, asserting that Professor Sayem's leadership was instrumental in maintaining academic discipline and driving campus development. Student representatives emphasized that their movement would persist in a peaceful manner until the government and education ministry address their legitimate demand.
The campus atmosphere remains tense yet orderly as student leaders warned of boycotting classes and examinations if their demands continue to be overlooked. Meanwhile, university authorities and local administration are closely monitoring the situation to prevent any untoward incidents.
