Chattogram, March 21 -- Chittagong University authorities have decided in principle to hold elections to its central students' union (Cucsu) and hall unions after around three decades.

CU Vice-chancellor Prof Iftekhar Uddin Chowdhury confirmed the decision after a meeting with provosts and proctorial body at his office on Wednesday.
