Ragging- an inhuman practice

University is the highest institution of education where students get access to the world of excellence in terms of humanity and professionalism. Students come here to make themselves enlightened. But it is very appalling that in some universities, in the name of 'ragging', the newcomers are tortured by their seniors! Of late, a leading daily reported that freshers at Chittagong Marine Academy were severely tortured by the seniors. The level of torture was so high that some of the students were admitted to the emergency units of the hospitals with acute physical and mental problems. Some of them even died! Though ragging is prohibited, this is going on unabated!
