In simple words he's asked them to censor their programmes and news to keep the government in positive light. He says "we have the power to impose censorship but we do not want to". This guy is CRAZY!

No one can make a single call. BTTB lines not working in most areas. My internet was down as well but I fought with the provider to give me the service back. It may go down ANYTIME. Media aren't allowed to broadcast/publish anymore of the DU related news. They already started censoring. I believe there's going to be something serious happening in DU area. Could anyone staying close-by report in? I tried calling international numbers but they wouldn't go either. ALL CELL PHONES SHUT! No one can make a single call. BTTB lines not working in most areas.

Teachers said if any student wants to leave, they could as it's government's order. However it is NOT their decision, so they won't force them out. Their syndicate body will decide later this evening of what should they do. There's no end to the clashes yet. Students are chanting that they will NOT leave the halls.

He was on live news with her. He said all the students from the dorms asked to leave their rooms. She asked is it practical to ask them to leave now when it's almost 5PM and a curfew's being declared from 8PM? How will all the students from very far able to go home? He just went silent and cut off the lines. Then a clap ws heard in CSB news studio! CTG is plotting to arrest students tonight. Since most of them will not be able to leave their dorms, police may attack them later at night. They are planning to switch off power of DU area from 8PM. CSB hightlight:

I'm pleased with your positive attitude. A curfew's been declared from 8 PM today. I'm not sure how long it's going to go. Would be interesting if students try to defy the ban. The decision came urgently after Square Group offices were attacked. The students are now targeting advisers' properties, offices and close contacts. I'm fearing the worst really.
