However, the protesting students are going to conduct a mass signature campaign from tomorrow and will continue it until their demands are fulfilled.  

Talking to this correspondent, DU proctor Prof Golam Rabbani said that the university authority has formed a 10-member investigation team to look into the issue and find out a proper solution to end this problem.
