          Habiganj,
          Apr 12 (UNB) – Local people have threatened to put up barricade on
          Dhaka-Sylhet road and railway line here if the Shahjalal Science and
          Technology University is not reopened immediately. 
            
          
           
          The
          threat came at a rally organized by the students on Saturday. The
          university remained closed for more than 5 months due to disturbances
          over the controversy arose from naming some buildings and residential
          halls after Bangabandhu and Jahanara Imam. 
           
          
           
          Over
          1000 students also created a human chain to highlight their demand.
          They submitted a memorandum to the Deputy Commissioner demanding early
          reopening of the University.
