At least 25 students were injured yesterday in a clash between outsiders of Islami Chhatra Shibir and students of Medical Assistant Training School (MATS) following the latter's protest against the Shibir intruders' selling of admission guides and other publications on the campus. Seriously injured third year student Manash, second year student Russel of MATS and Shibir cadres Shakhawat and Amjad Hossen, both outsiders, were rushed to Noakhali General Hospital.Shudharam Police Station Officer-in-Charge Mosharaf Hossen Talukder said the clash ensued as some Shibir activists of Noakhali university college, defying protest of general students, entered MATS campus to sell admission guides and other publications of Shibir.
MATS students also kept seven Shibir activists of MATS confined to the principal's office room, from where police later rescued them.
Police have been deployed on MATS campus to avert any untoward incident. There are allegations that outsider Shibir activists accompanied by a few pro-Shibir students of the institution often intrude there to motivate general students to join the Shibir.
