JU organises ragging resistance rally

The university authorities have organised a ragging prevention rally to eliminate ragging from the campus on Monday, reports UNB.

Teachers, officials and staff started the rally from Amar Ekushey premises of the university campus around 10:30 am. The rally ended with a brief meeting in front of the Faculty of Business Studies.

Pro vice-chancellor (Education) professor Nurul Alam said, "We will not allow any ragging on the campus. The university administration maintains zero-tolerance level against ragging".

Acting registrar Rahima Kaniz said the administration had issued a notification regarding ragging and its punishment to make everyone aware. Everyone hates social disorder like ragging and say 'no' to ragging.

Director of Student Welfare and Counseling Center Abdul Mannan Chowdhury said ragging was a scary thing. Ragging can stop someone's study.

Director of the Wazed Mia Science Research Center and president of the Teachers Association AA Mamun said ragging is a punishable offense and those accused of ragging must be brought under the law.
