Nurunnehar, a second year student of Begum Rokeya Hall said “We don’t have well furnished reading rooms in the dormitory that is why we are being deprived of proper facilities.” However, she beg the attention of the authorities regarding the matter.
Nazmul Mridha, a third year student of Madar Bux hall said “There is a reading room in our dormitory but it remains vacant all time. We are not getting expected facilities from the reading room.”
Professor Subhash Chandra Sil, administrator of the RU central library said “around 18 Air Conditioners are defective in the library, we inform the vice chancellor about the matter while he gave assurance to re-construct the AC. Besides, seats in the reading room are enough to meet the demand of the students.
