CU trees being cut down
Chittagong University (CU) began cutting down trees in Shah Amanat Park adjacent to CU Shah Amanat Hall yesterday alleging that the trees are “hampering necessary ventilation” of the hall and blocking sunlight.
Campus sources said CU authority called an auction on March 31 to sell ten tamarisk trees adjacent to the hall.
One local Hazi Ismail bought these trees worth of Tk 167,000 and began to cut them down, they said.
A few students expressed anger over the matter saying that the park's beauty would be greatly hampered.
