Dhaka University's bus
The other day, I was going through the Satmasjid road and suddenly a Dhaka University students' bus caught my attention. Dhaka University is the highest educational institution in Bangladesh. The main purpose of the university is to create new areas of knowledge and disseminate this knowledge to the society through its students. I'm proud to have studied here in the early 90s. Millions of students like me, who came from village, had their horizon widened, because of studying here, for sure.
Anyway, I was shocked to see the condition of the bus. There was no number plate on it. Instead there was a hand-written registration number. The whole body of the bus was rundown and the windowpanes were cracked.
I don't believe the university authorities don't have the fund to have the bus repainted. Wherever this bus goes, it carries the flag of Dhaka University. It simply cannot be left in such a poor condition. Hope, DU authorities would look into the matter.
