Is it a healthy campus?
If someone comes out in the morning for a walk in fresh air in the Dhaka University campus, s/he will be disheartened because of the bad odour from garbage and human fasces. There prevails no hygienic atmosphere. Vagabonds, lunatics, and street urchins are living here and there.
At noon heavy traffic and political procession clog the main streets hampering students' normal movement. People, mostly outsiders, start gathering with the onset of afternoon. Anti social activities including eve-teasing and mugging are happening amid this crowd. In the evening, adjacent areas especially Suhrawardy Udyan fill with addicted people, drug peddlers, floating prostitutes, pimps, clients and their associates (derailed student leaders and police). My question to the authorities: is it really a healthy campus, once known as the Oxford of the East?
