The students of Jagannath University (JnU) on Sunday gave a 24-hour ultimatum to Vice-Chancellor Sadeka Halim, registrar, full proctor body, and hall provosts to step down by 3pm on Monday.

They issued the ultimatum after a view-exchange meeting at the Central Auditorium at 2pm.

The students also brought out a protest procession from the academic building on the campus and staged demonstrations there around 2:30pm.

Swarna Akter Ria, coordinator of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, said, “We gave them a 24-hour ultimatum to resign within 3pm on Monday and if they do not step down, we will go for a tougher movement.”

The protesters also placed 13-point demand, including a ban on student politics on campus, bearing the medical expenses of students who died or got injured during the protest, relieving those who got jobs on the campus with Chhatra League affiliation within two days, holding elections after enacting guidelines within 20 September, freeing the occupied dormitories and allocating those based on merits, implementing the construction work of second campus of the university, ensuring academic atmosphere, banning politics of teachers and giving priority to the students of the university during teachers’ recruitment and taking effective measures in stopping extortion and bidding in the name of politics.
