Dhaka University authorities have sought a list of teachers who remained absent from classes on November 10 without prior permission.
The authorities have asked the deans of all faculties and directors of all institutes to submit the names of the teachers concerned to the university registrar by 4pm on Wednesday (November 11).
A letter signed by the university registrar was issued on Tuesday and sent to all faculty deans and institute directors in this regard.
According to the letter, the university authorities had received information that some teachers from different departments and institutes had not conducted their scheduled classes on November 10.
Although the letter did not specify the reason behind the directive, a source said it was issued in connection with the nationwide shutdown programme announced by the banned Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) for November 10.
The banned organisation called for a nationwide shutdown, urging the closure of educational institutions, public transport, offices, courts and shops demanding the cancellation of the tribunal verdict against ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina and the lifting of the ban on the Awami League and Chhatra League.
