DU teachers observe work abstention for 5 hours

The teachers of Dhaka University have observed work abstention for five hours on Tuesday demanding reinstatement of the previous pension facilities instead of the newly introduced universal pension scheme.
No class was held due to the “half day” protest that started around 8:00am which continued around 1:00pm, our DU correspondent reports.
However, the scheduled exams were held, said a press release.
Terming the new pension scheme “discriminatory” the teachers also demanded cancellation of the gazette in this regard.
The protesters gathered at the entrance of the Arts Building during the ongoing protest. The programme was held under the banner of Dhaka University Teachers Association (DUTA). Its President Prof Nizamul Hoque Bhuiyan and General Secretary Prof Zeenat Huda led the programme.
