The Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), the student wing of the Awami League, has approved a new committee for its unit at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), the premier engineering institution.
According to an official press statement issued by the Central Executive Committee of the Bangladesh Chhatra League, dated February 3, the committee for the upcoming one-year term has received approval from the advisory committee.
The statement highlights the formation of the BUET unit committee under the leadership of the following key positions: Tanbir Mohammad Shibli as the president, Sagar Bishwas Joy as the vice-President, Ashikul Alam as the general secretary, Artha Kumar Das as joint general secretary and Ani Majumdar as the organisational secretary.
The document bears official stamps and signatures, including those from Chhatra League President Sadam Hossain and General Secretary Sheikh Wali Asif Inan.

This development marks an effort to reorganise the BUET unit of Chhatra League amid the institution’s complex history with student politics. BUET has maintained a ban on student political activities since late 2019 following the tragic murder of Abrar Fahad.
Recent years saw attempts to revive or challenge the ban, including legal interventions and protests, but political activities remained restricted or controversial on campus.

The Jamaat-controlled Yunus-led regime banned the Chhatra League in 2024, to pave the way for radical Islamists, like Islami Chhatra Shibir, and banned militant groups, like Hizb ut-Tahrir, for operating freely in various campuses.
The newly approved committee aims to operate for the next one-year period, focusing on organisational activities as per the central directives. The full committee details beyond these executive positions are not elaborated in the provided statement.
