KU students call off strike

KHULNA, Aug 17 (UNB): Students of Khulna University called off their strike in the early hours of Wednesday after authorities assured them of meeting their demands.
The university authorities on Tuesday afternoon issued a notice to seize all sorts of items, including electronic devices, rice cookers and knives, after a female student of Aparajita Hall attempted suicide by slitting her throat with a chopper.
Following the announcement, the students broke open the lock of the hall and took position in front of the dormitory's main gate to press home their 10-point demand around 10pm.
Expressing solidarity with the strike, students from other halls started gathering at Hadi Chattor and continued with the protest until the university authorities assured them of fulfilling their demands around 2am.
