KHULNA, Jan 15 (UNB): At least 50 people, mostly students, were injured in a fierce clash between the activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Islami Chhatra Shibir (ICS) at the Government BL College here today (Friday).
The academic council of the college asked the residential students to vacate the residential halls by evening, apparently to avert further trouble.
Police and witnesses said activists of the two rival student bodies took out separate processions welcoming the admission seekers after the college admission test for 2010 academic session was held in the morning under the National University.
The clash erupted when the rowdy activists of the rival groups chanted slogans against each other from their respective processions at about 12:30pm.
