Dhaka University halls
Firstly, to retain control of a seat the students have to take part in politics. Whoever is active in politics gets a seat very soon. On the other hand, the future of a 'non-political student' is rather bleak. If any student stays on a seat without the permission of political leaders of the hall, he may have to face dire consequences.
Secondly, in a tiny room at least 12 to 16 students have to stay, which is extremely uncomfortable, to say the least.
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. Thirdly, the members of hall staff are not trained or motivated to do their work. They have not been doing their duty perfectly. As a result, bathrooms of the halls are not clean and that may have a lot to do with the spread of diseases in the halls.
Fourthly, canteens of the DU halls have been serving rotten foods in dirty plates to the students. So the DU authorities should take proper steps to solve the problems as soon as possible, if they really care for the well being of students.
