News Desk

Students from Dhaka College and Dhaka City College clashed again on Tuesday over a minor issue in the Science Laboratory area, leaving several injured. The incident occurred around 11:45 AM, creating panic and disrupting traffic in the vicinity.

Eyewitnesses reported that Dhaka City College students gathered near the footbridge at Science Lab, while Dhaka College students positioned themselves in front of the Government Teachers’ Training College. Both groups hurled bricks and stones at each other, escalating tensions in the area.

Law enforcement intervened to bring the situation under control. Police have increased patrols, and additional security forces, including army personnel, have been deployed to maintain order.

Officer Tariquzzaman stated, “Such incidents often occur over trivial matters. Though the exact cause is yet to be confirmed, initial reports suggest that the clash began after students from one college allegedly assaulted a student from the other college after pulling them off a bus. This provoked retaliation and led to the confrontation.”

While the situation has been stabilized, tensions remain high in the area. Investigations are ongoing to determine the specific cause of the altercation.
