DU restricts vehicle movement on campus, makes stickers mandatory for motorcycles

The University of Dhaka (DU) authorities have imposed restrictions on the entry and movement of vehicles on the campus, allowing access to designated categories of vehicles in the interest of campus security.

In an urgent notice published on the university's official Facebook page on Saturday noon, the authorities said vehicles belonging to university teachers, students, officers and employees would be allowed to enter and move around the campus.

The restriction, however, will not apply to vehicles bearing Dhaka University stickers, ambulances, vehicles carrying doctors and patients, media vehicles, ride-sharing services, food delivery vehicles, online shopping delivery vehicles and other government vehicles.

The authorities also said they reserved the right to search any individual or vehicle as part of security measures.

In a separate notice, the university asked motorcycle owners to collect security stickers from the Proctor's Office by November 19.

After the deadline, motorcycles without the designated security stickers will not be allowed to enter the campus, the notice said.
