The authorities of Dhaka University (DU) are going to reopen its student halls on a limited scale from 5 October for Bachelor and Master’s final year students.
The decision to reopen halls has been finalised on Saturday evening at a syndicate meeting at Nawab Ali Chowdhury senate building auditorium at DU campus with DU vice-chancellor (VC) professor Akhtaruzzaman in the chair.
As per the decision, students will have to show the Covid vaccine certificates of at least one dose and the valid student identification cards at the hall entrance. This will also be required to study at the university's central library and the seminar libraries from 26 September from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The syndicate has taken these steps to beef up the surveillance to ensure certification of at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccine and the valid identity card, preventing non-students from entering halls, told pro-VC professor (education) AKM Maksud Kamal to Prothom Alo.
