The students of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) on Monday demanded a safe campus so that they could feel comfort.
They demanded also ban on vehicular movement and outsiders’ entrance into the campus without permission of the competent authorities.
The students raised their voice from a protest rally held on the BUET campus on Monday.
Hundreds of students took part in their rally with slogans for a peaceful campus and giving of punishment to those of Dhaka University students who ransacked their hall.
The BUET students blocked the road from Palashi intersection to Penang restaurant in the midday.
Later, they moved to the administrative building of the BUET.
Kamrul Hasan, a student of Chemical Engineering Department, said the BUET campus has become a public place making our life unsafe, which is very undesirable.
 “It is regrettable that people of all professions gather on the BUET campus for passing their leisure time. Some of them also create embarrassing situation as they do unsocial activities on the campus,” he said.
Another protesting student said, the outsiders come to the campus and create untoward incidents. Even they want to establish their supremacy on the BUET students.
 “The attack on BUET students by Dhaka University fellows was presented wrongly and in a motivated way in the media. We demand to the authorities of BUET to arrange a press conference to present the right news,” the BUET students demanded it in a note supplied to the journalists at the protest rally on campus yesterday.
Along with this, they demanded that copies of all of the CCTV camera footage of October 26 and 27 to be given to the protesting students immediately.  
On Friday afternoon, some BUET students confined Imran, a resident of Zahurul Haque Hall, to a room of Titumir Hall on the campus.
On information, DU Zahurul Hall students along with some BCL men rescued Imran and went on rampage in Titumir Hall on Friday night. The students of the two nearby universities, carrying sticks, later came face to face at Polashi intersection and traded brickbats.
