People from various professions in Shariatpur formed human chains, brought out processions, and submitted memorandums demanding the permanent campus of the agriculture university be set up near the district town and along the Dhaka-Shariatpur road.
Led by local BNP leader Mahbub Morshed, a procession started from the Sadar Upazila parishad premises on Wednesday and ended at the Deputy Commissioner's office. Protesters warned of broader movements if demands are not met by next Monday.
Earlier, similar human chains were organized in Dagorjora and in front of the central Shaheed Minar. Although land was recently inspected in East Damudya upazila, residents demand the campus near the city for better communication and civic facilities.
