KHULNA, Jan 07 (UNB): Residential halls of Khulna Engineering and Technology University (Kuet) reopened on Friday after remaining closed over the unusual death of Prof Dr Mohammad Selim Hossain.
The decision was taken at an emergency meeting of Kuet syndicate on Thursday morning, said Pratik Chandra Biswas, president of the teachers' association.

The students were asked to follow the instructions strictly given by the authorities. Any kind of procession, meetings and rallies and other related activities will not be allowed without prior permission.
Prof Selim (38), a teacher of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) department at the university and also the provost of Lalan Shah Hall, died on November 30.
According to faculty members of the university, Prof Selim died hours after some BCL activists, led by Sadman allegedly confined the teacher to his office and mentally tortured him.
