The name of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is being restored at the gate of a Dhaka University hall, replacing the name of Inqilab Mancha spokesperson Sharif Osman Hadi.
The inscription “Shaheed Osman Hadi Hall” has been removed from the gate of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall, with “Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall” set to be restored.
Work to erase the existing nameplate began on Wednesday afternoon.
Dhaka University Pro-Vice Chancellor (Administration) Professor Mohammed Almujaddade Alfasane said that the decision followed a resolution adopted at the university’s latest Senate meeting.
“Last time, the Senate decided to retain all the previous names. That is now being implemented,” he said.
The hall’s previous nameplate was removed and replaced with “Shaheed Osman Hadi Hall” in December 2025 after Hadi was shot.
The Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu) later demanded that the hall be renamed “Shaheed Osman Hadi Hall.”
