The students of Government Titumir College have called their movement off for a week after the government assured them of addressing their problems.
The decision to withdraw the strike that disrupted activities in Dhaka for the past few days came on Monday night after the students and a delegation of the Ministry of Education held a meeting in this regard.
Nur Mohammad, a student of the college, announced the withdrawal.
He, however, threatened that they would take to the streets further if their demands are not met within the deadline.
Earlier, a delegation led by the ministry’s Joint Secretary, Nuruzzaman, met the students and assured them of addressing their problems.
Officer-in-Charge of Banani Police Station Russell Sarwar confirmed the development on Monday night.
The college students had been staging demonstrations over the past few days to press home their six-point demand, including turning the college into a university.
They blockaded Mohakhali-Gulshan Link road on Sunday halting the traffic movement, and put barricades on rail tracks in Dhaka, disrupting the train communications between Dhaka and parts of the country.
Some of the students also went on a hunger-strike to realise their demands.
