| [Bangla Daily Star] After a clash with the Shibir men, the activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League ... the student wing of the Bangla Awami League ... set fire to at least 15 rooms of Government MC College hostel in Sylhet last night. Firemen brought the fire under control after an hour-long effort at 9:30pm, said the officer-in-charge of Shah Poran Police Station. College sources said the clash started around 8:00pm after some BCL workers beat up a Shibir activist on the campus over seating in the class in the afternoon. Activists of both the groups used sticks and iron rods during the clash, leaving about 20 injured. They were taken to the Osmani Medical College Hospital. The injured include MC College Shibir President Monwar Hossain. |
