DU Rokeya Hall

A building declared unsafe, students asked to evacuate

DU Correspondent
The Dhaka University (DU) authorities have declared a building of Rokeya Hall unsafe after identifying it vulnerable to earthquake damage.
On Sunday night, the hall authorities asked 130 female students staying in 38 rooms of the two-storied 'Honours Building' to evacuate by June 10 and move to Chameli Building of the hall.
The hall authorities have also
allocated few rooms at Chameli Building for the residents of the 'Honours Building'.
But the students alleged that the hall authorities have asked them to leave the building without arranging proper accommodation facilities for them.
"Most of us are honours final year and master's students and stay-in a single bed. And our exams arc going on. So, it is not possible for us to leave the building right now," said Hasi, a resident of the building.
Besides, most of the resident students have now gone to their village homes during this summer vacation of the university, which began on June 1, she said.
"The syndicate declared the building unsafe on May 26 while we were informed on June 1, when most of us are out of the campus," Hasi said.
She also said the students would launch a movement if the hall authorities try to evict them without
arranging proper accommodation facilities for them.
They would also meet Provost Prof Laila Nur today in this regard, sheadded.
Earlier, a five-member committee composing two experts -- Prof Isuak Ahmed of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) and Prof Aftab Alam Khan of geology department of DU — was formed to examine the building.
The committee has recently submitted a report to the university authorities, saying the building is vulnerable to earthquake damage and cannot be repaired.
The committee also recommended demolishing the building and constructing a new one.
Prof Laila Nur said, "We have taken the decision to evacuate the students from the budding as it has been declared unsafe. We will also arrange proper accommodation faedities for them at the Chameli budding."
