Some 100 people illegally residing at Dhaka University\u2019s Jagannath Hall were ousted Monday midnight.
\nThe university authorities, led by the hall provost Ashim Sarkar, also sealed a total of 13 rooms in the hall during the drive at Govinda Chandra Bhaban.
\nThe drive began at around 10:30pm and continued till 1:30am.
\nWitness said the university proctorial team and house tutors locked the main gate of the building and began checking students\u2019 identification cards to prove their legality to stay in the halls.
\nThe hall provost said the illegal boarders were driven out from the dormitory as the outsiders included former students, businessmen, job holders and students of other dormitories.
\nThey led the drive following notices of illegal stay of the outsiders at the hall, he said.
\nHe warned, \u2018If any outsiders are found in the hall again, they will be handed over to police.\u2019
\nHall sources said illegal stay of the outsiders, loyal to ruling party-backed student wing, was due to indifference of the hall authorities and it disturbed the valid boarders of the hall.
\nDU acting proctor Amzad Ali said the university had directed the authorities of different halls to conduct drive against the outsiders.<\/p>\n
