Acute water crisis in two Sust dorms of female students

About 1,200 female students of two dormitories at Sylhet's Shahjalal University of Science and Technology have been facing acute water crisis for five days as the water pump went out of order.

The students of First Female Student Hall and Begum Sirajunnesa Chowdhury Hall alleged that the authorities concerned took no heed in this regard.

Now water is being supplied to the dormitories from the BGB office in Sylhet and Sylhet City Corporation once a day on a temporary basis, which is not adequate for them, they said.

Seeking anonymity, a student of the mathematics department of Sust living in a dormitory said in such process of supplying water someone got water while someone did not.

The pump operator Zakir Talukdar said the damaged pump was sent to Dhaka for repair.

Sust acting vice chancellor Prof Ilias Uddin Biswas said the crisis would be resolved within a few days.
