Rickshaw-pullers at RU female halls

Most of the rickshaws waiting for hours in front of the female halls at the western side of the campus of Rajshahi University (RU).

But it is hard to find a rickshaw in front of male students on emergency needs, the students said.

Rickshaw-pullers said, we can get more rents from female halls and some of them love to sit there waiting for rents.

Some students of university halls said, male students of 11 halls stands long time and failed to catch a rickshaw to go outside or departments. It is very difficult to go campus adjacent Binodpur or the main entrance with large baggage's during the vacation without rickshaw. Students have to walk by not getting rickshaws.

After visiting 11 halls out of 17 halls, it was found that there were not more than 5 rickshaws in front of Syed Amir Ali, Shah Makhdum, Nawab Abdul Latif, Sher-e-Bengali Fazlul Huq, Motihaar and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman halls. But there was many rickshaws in front of the 5 female halls.

In the meantime, a rickshaw-pullers Razzak waiting for 20 minutes in front of Rokeya Hall said, he is driving rickshaws on the campus for at least 16 years. I drive rickshaw everywhere in the campus. But, I am waiting at the west side when I feel upset.

However, a resident student of Shah Makhdum Hall Jahangir Alam said, "This is not right for everyone that the male students gives less rickshaw rent or bargaining, because students of this campus leads a very normal life. But maybe some time one or two students were creates altercation for rent. And the rickshaw-pullers take that seriously."

Noor Alam, a resident student at the University's Suhrawardi Hall said, "I think they are gathered there to watch the female students. I can't see any other reasons for not coming in front of male students halls."

University Students Adviser Professor Sadekul Arefeen Matin said, "There is no prevention-hurdle on the movement of rickshaws anywhere in the campus. There are no allegations of harassing rickshaw-pullers by students. However, the matter will be considered for any problem of the students", he said.
