BCL declares DU hall council after five years

The hall council of Dhaka University's Chhatra League (BCL) unit has been scheduled for January 30.

It was notified through a BCL press release that the 'Integrated Hall Council 2021' of all the hall branches of Dhaka University will be held after 5 years on Sunday (January 30).

"All kinds of preparation for the hall conference have been taken and the council is scheduled for January," Sanjit Chandra Das, president of Dhaka University Chhatra League, said.

Considering the spread of the Covid-19 situation, only the candidates will attend the council premises maintaining hygiene rules.

The decision was finalized in a private discussion on the night of January 14 to fix the agenda with the top two BCL central leaders and top two DU Chhatra League leaders.

Earlier, the hall conference was scheduled for several times but didn't held as Sanjit Chandra Das, president of DU Chhatra League, fell sick.

The last DU hall council was held on 26 November 2016 and hall committees were formed in December 2016.  The one-year term of this committee ended in December 2017.

Since then there were no committees of Chhatra League in DU halls. As a result,  long-awaited candidates met the central president, general secretary of BCL and DU Chhatra League on January 12,  and expressed displeasure to the leaders as there was no committee for a long time.

After the declaration of the hall conference, Chhatra League leaders and activists of all boy's dormitories staged a joy rally around the campus.
