RAJSHAHI, Oct 28, 2021 (BSS) - Rajshahi University of Engineering and
Technology (RUET) has reopened its dormitories today (Thursday) through
maintaining health rules amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

  The dormitories were reopened for the convenience of the students after
around one and half years of unexpected closure caused by the Covid-19
pandemic.

  Prior to this, necessary preparations, including ensuring of conservancy,
health instruments and isolation centre at medical, were completed.

  Students Adviser Prof Rabiul Awal told BSS that the students have started
entering into their respective dormitory from 8.00 am today through
submitting photocopies of their identity cards, corona certificate or
registration card.  

   The RUET took the decision in a meeting of its syndicate, highest policy
making body of the technological university, held early this month with Vice-
chancellor Prof Rafiqul Islam Sheikh in the chair.

  "We have reopened the dormitories for the greater interest of the
students," said Prof Islam, adding that many of the departments are taking
examinations in-persons at present.

  So, reopening of the dormitories had become crucial as the students were
suffering a lot due to accommodation crises.

  After completion of the on-going examination another syndicate meeting will
be held to take decision of reopening of the classes in-persons in due time,
Prof Islam added.
