On the third day following the deadly clash between locals and students of Rajshahi University (RU), the situation is slowly calming down on campus.
However, a tense situation is prevailing in and around the campus of Rajshahi University.
The presence of students on the campus was relatively low on Monday morning.
Meanwhile, the traffic on the Dhaka-Rajshahi highway is slowly turning back to normal as small vehicles started moving on Sunday night.
While visiting the area, it was seen that small vehicles, including auto-rickshaws, are plying on the highway while large vehicles like buses and trucks are using the Rajshahi bypass road as an alternate route.
Additional police personnel, including the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), Crisis Response Team (CRT) and Detective Branch (DB), were deployed to avoid any further untoward incidents.
Meanwhile, police on Sunday filed a case against some 250-300 unidentified people over the incident.
Matihar police station SI Amanat Ullah filed the case.
