JAHANGIRNAGAR UNIVERSITY, July 1, 2025 (BSS) - A group of students of the 
Mathematical and Physical Sciences Faculty at Jahangirnagar University (JU) 
today demanded an immediate resumption of the ongoing construction work of 
their faculty building which has been halted due to protests by a group of 
left-leaning student activists.

They made the demand at a press conference around 5 pm at the faculty 
premises of the university. 

The students expressed their frustration over the obstruction, calling the 
interruption 'unjustified' and harmful to their academic environment.

They urged the university administration to take necessary steps to ensure 
the continuation of the construction project without further delay.

"The delay is affecting our academic progress and laboratory facilities. We 
need proper infrastructure for supporting our studies," said Mohammad Al 
Mahi, vice-president of Statistics and Data Science Students' Union, during 
the briefing.
