Residential hall crisis at BSMRSTU
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science & Technology University (BSMRSTU) is attended by approximately 9000 students, a large number of whom come from different rural areas of the country. There is no denying that the university is considerably contributing to the local economy. However, the shortage of houses, high price of commodities and poor safety records make Gopalganj inhospitable for the pupils. There are not sufficient seats in the residential halls.
Unfortunately, the government has not taken any steps to address the problems. I think I speak for all when I say we badly need residential halls that can accommodate all students. The government and the local district administration should focus on our pressing needs.
