We want a clean campus

Md. Ibrahim, MS in Fisheries, Dhaka University
It is difficult to walk in the Dhaka university campus, particularly, around the central playground, in front of the Shahidullah hall and Amar Ekushe hall, behind the central library and near the Curzon hall areas because of the stench of human wastes. Mostly rickshaw-drivers, day labourers and beggars are responsible for this situation. The reasons behind this situation are lack of awareness, inadequate number of public toilets and negligence of the authorities in taking punitive actions. To solve this problem, some effective steps should be taken, such as: a good number of public toilets must be set up in the university area, awareness programmes should be arranged, and finally measures to penalise the wrongdoers must be taken. We want clean environment in our campus.
