Chittagong University (CU) has suspended all classes and examinations scheduled for today (Wednesday) due to inclement weather conditions. The decision was announced through a notice signed by Acting Registrar Prof. Dr. Mohammed Saiful Islam this morning.

Reasons for Suspension

The notice cited adverse weather, waterlogging, and transport disruptions on the campus and surrounding areas as reasons for the suspension. The notice has already been published on the university's official Facebook page.

Impact of Rainfall

The suspension comes as incessant rainfall since Sunday has caused severe waterlogging in different parts of Chittagong, flooding homes and shops and disrupting normal life in the port city.

Transport Disruptions

Earlier, on Tuesday morning, train services on the Chittagong-Cox's Bazar route were temporarily suspended after rainwater inundated the railway tracks. Meanwhile, several minor landslides have also occurred at different points on the Chittagong University campus.

Why This Matters

The suspension of classes and exams highlights the severe impact of the ongoing adverse weather conditions in Chittagong. It underscores the challenges faced by educational institutions during such events and the need for robust contingency plans to ensure the safety and continuity of education.
