The Gazipur Awmi League on Saturday postponed its public meeting scheduled to be held yesterday at a National University examination centre at Bhawal Badre Alam Government College, as the matter drew flake.
However, the examinations were held in the shifted venues at nearby schools and colleges for a day even after postponement of the scheduled AL unit’s new committee meeting. AL General Secretary Obaidul Quader was expected to attend the meeting as the chief guest.
Advocate Haris Ahmed, a member of the AL central Committee said, “Considering the examinees’ sufferings, the meeting has been postponed.”
According to Professor Jerina Sultana, Principal of Bhawal Badre Alam Government College, the venues of the examination were shifted to several colleges in Chandina Chourasta area of the district because of the AL’s meeting.
“The decision was made after talking to NU VC, examination controller and the people concerned,” the principal also said, adding that they gave permission to hold the meeting on the college premises after getting an application from the Gazipur AL in this regard.
According to the NU, around 1,600 students of Tongi Government College were about to sit for their master’s exams, starting at 1:30pm, on different subjects at the Bhawal Badre Alam Government College exam centre.
Examination Controller of NU Mohammad Badruzzaman earlier said though the NU did not issue any prior notice regarding shifting of the centre, “they took initiatives so that students would get the message.”
