Jhenaidah, March 1 -- The Jhenaidah Government Veterinary College was closed for an indefinite period on Friday following students' agitation.

The students were also forced to leave the residential halls in the morning.

College authorities said the students have been demanding since February 25 to enlist their institution as a department of Jessore Science and Technology University.

Senior livestock department officials assured them to accept their demand but took no action, angering the students.

The demonstrators obstructed the college's administrative activities and sealed its gates and locked the offices.
