Bijoy Ekattur Hall of Dhaka University (DU) is going to open for students of all religions from 2015-16 academic session, reports UNB. The DU syndicate has decided to allocate seat to all students irrespective of their religion, faith and creeds, said AJM Shafiul Alam Bhuiyan, provost of the hall, while speaking at a press briefing on Sunday. He said the decision was taken at a syndicate meeting held on July 13 following his request. The provost said students belonging to any religion can apply for seat at the dormitory. They will be allocated seat on the basis of their merit. At present, around 1300 students are residing in the hall and all of them are Muslims. Jagannath Hall is the lone dormitory where only Hindu students can reside. However, there is no such rule in the female dormitories.
