Dhaka, Sept 9 (V7N) – Dhaka University administration has announced the closure of all classes and examinations on Wednesday following the ongoing vote-counting process of the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) and hall elections.

Voting for DUCSU and hall elections began at 8 a.m. on Tuesday and continued peacefully until 4 p.m. Observers noted that the elections were conducted in a largely calm environment throughout the day.

University officials stated that the suspension of classes and exams is a precautionary measure to ensure student safety amid heightened tensions and to allow law enforcement to manage any potential unrest effectively.
 
Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely as the vote-counting process progresses.
