Activists of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) occupied the newly built girls' dormitory of Sylhet Sarkari (government) College yesterday afternoon.
College sources said at least 40 BCL men broke into the four-storey building at around 3:00pm and took possession of 26 rooms there.
The college authorities however, suspended today's academic activities fearing untoward incidents.
Witnesses said the BCL activists, led by their college unit convener Debangshu Das, entered the building by breaking the lock of the main gate.
Debangshu claimed that the BCL men helped the general students occupy the rooms at the hostel.
Immediately after the incident, JCD and Shibir leaders met the college principal. They demanded ouster of the BCL men from the girls' hostel. Otherwise, they said their party men would occupy the remaining rooms of the dormitory.
Meanwhile, traders in the city yesterday blocked the road in Barutkhana area for 10 minutes protesting attack on one of their colleagues by Juba league cadres at Zindabazar on Monday night.
Police and witnesses said Juba League leader Bidhan Kumar Shaha and some of his party men beat up an autorickshaw driver as he parked his three-wheeler in front of a shop at Zindabazar at around 9:00pm on Monday.
As Kamal Ahmed, owner of a readymade garment store of a nearby market, protested the incident, the Jubo League men assaulted him.
