DU epidemic
We, the resident students of Dhaka University, are walking a tight rope at present. Jaundice has upset not only us but also our guardians. Frankly speaking, our dormitories are not better than shanty houses. Our canteens and lavatories are not wholesome. The mushrooming mobile eateries on our campus are not hygienic. The authorities are very much indifferent to our sanitation and medicare. The concerned house tutors do not oversee the staff employed to clean our dormitory. They do not inquire of the condition of our canteens.
Many students of some halls are suffering from hepatitis B. The premature demise of Abu Bakar, a student, has appalled me immensely as he was very close to me. Now we are panicked. They should take some concrete steps to ward off the impending disaster.
