Dhaka, April 22 -- Police have said they will "soon" hold talks with the authorities of Dhaka College and Dhaka City College in a bid to prevent recurring clashes between students of the two educational institutions in the capital.

"We will speak with the authorities of both colleges very soon," said Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Assistant Commissioner (Dhanmondi Zone) Shah Mostofa Tariquzzaman on Tuesday afternoon.

Earlier in the day, students from both institutions were locked in a back-and-forth chase for nearly four hours around the Science Laboratory.

The situation began to ease around 4pm after students left the streets, Mostofa said.

No one was detained during the clashes, confirmed New Market Police Station chief Mohsin Uddi...
