University bosses scrambled to beef up campus protection after calling an emergency security summit at Jahangirnagar University. Top brass gathered at 11 AM inside the Senate Hall to hammer out plans for a mega security force combining college officials with government muscle. The brass wanted everything locked down tight before students head to the polls for their big union election. Proctor Professor Dr A K M Rashidul Alam ran the show while Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr Md Kamarul Ahsan and other heavy hitters showed up ready to talk business. Police chiefs from Savar and Ashulia stations joined army officers and security experts from nearby training centers to map out their strategy.
Campus chief Professor Dr Kamrul Ahsan told the packed room that tough times called for serious teamwork between all the security players. He pushed hard for everyone to jump on a WhatsApp chat group that would keep messages flying fast when trouble starts brewing. The vice-chancellor made it clear that old-school methods would not cut it anymore given how things have changed around campus. Government representatives from the Bangladesh Public Administration Training Centre and livestock research facilities promised to throw their weight behind the university when needed. Army personnel from the 9th Infantry Division and local police commanders gave their word that joint operations would become the new normal for keeping students safe.
