Students of Viqarunnisa Noon School and College protested, demanding the resignation of their principal and the governing body. The protest took place on Thursday, at the school's main branch on Bailey Road in Dhaka.
Students participated in the protest, carrying banners with slogans like "Step Down Keka," "Step Down Farhana," and "We Want Autocracy Free Campus." The students are upset because they believe the principal, Keka Roy Chowdhury, has threatened to expel those who took part in the quota reform movement. They also accuse the principal and governing body of corruption and other irregularities.
The students have given a 24-hour ultimatum for the resignation of the principal, teachers, and members of the governing body involved in these issues. They demand immediate action against those responsible. Efforts to contact Acting Principal Keka Roy Chowdhury for her comments were unsuccessful, as she did not answer calls and has reportedly not been to the office for the past few days.
This protest highlights ongoing concerns and dissatisfaction among students regarding the administration of the school. The students are determined to continue their protest until their demands are met, seeking a fair and transparent administration for their institution.
The authorities have not yet responded to the students' demands, and it remains to be seen how the situation will be resolved. The students are hopeful that their protest will lead to positive changes within their school.
