Abandoned water-body at DU


Due to indifference of Dhaka University (DU) authorities, the beautiful water-body in the middle of Bangabandhu hall and Kabi Jasimuddin hall is now abandoned. Instead of being a scenic spot for hundreds of students, teachers and employees, it has become something quite opposite. Shrubbery and water hyacinths are there near the banks but the lake now has become a safe habitat for mosquitoes and snakes. A couple of days back, a snake was found on the 1st floor of Bangabandhu hall that created panic among resident students. If the authorities of DU take proper initiatives to reclaim this lake, it will be an attractive visiting spot not only for students but also for the visitors who come to DU campus to enjoy sunsets.

We are very anxious about the authority's intervention and hope that immediate steps would be taken to reclaim the beauty of this place.
