COMILLA, Sept 18 (UNB): Comilla Medical College was closed sine die Thursday following a clash between students and local people amid campus unrest.
The college academic council in an emergency meeting took the closure decision and also asked all students to leave their dormitories by Friday noon after the clash that left 10 students injured.
Witnesses said the students brought out a procession at 11 am against resumption of the activities of Medical Assistant Training School (MATS) on the college campus.
"At one stage, the agitated students locked up the office of MATS and forced the newly appointed principal, Dr Shahiduddin, and other members of the staff out of his chamber," said a spot account of the incident.
A clash ensued between the students and local people when students, wielding sticks, chased a microbus driver of MATS, who is a local man.
A three-member committee was formed to probe the incident.
