Students submit memo demanding Rucsu polls

Rajshahi University, Dec 19 (UNB): Rajshahi University (RU) students submitted on Tuesday a memorandum to university vice-chancellor Prof M Abdus Sobhan demanding immediate election to the RU Central Students' Union (Rucsu).

RU Pro-VC Prof Ananda Kumar Saha received the memorandum on behalf of the VC.

"It's not an easy process to hold the Rucus election. The government intervention is needed to arrange the polls," Prof Ananda Kumar said while receiving the memorandum.

Earlier on Friday, the students launched a mass signature campaign which continued until Monday.

On December 13, around 100 students of the university held a candle-lit programme at the university's central Shaheed Minar demanding the Rucsu election.
