Before settling the issue of harassment of girl students, the JU authorities have decided to violate the green environment of the JU. They have decided to cut more than 400 rare and environment-friendly trees. The reason, as reported in the media, is simply unacceptable to anybody with sound mind and heart. These beautiful trees are going to be the victim of the total mismanagement of the JU authorities.
I do not know how to express our total disapproval. We would appreciate if the environment protection group come out strongly to stop this act of the JU management. Simultaneously, we would also ask the JU decision makers not to interfere with the natural beauty and the ecological balance of the campus.
It is also important to mention that the JU is not a personal property of any individual or any institution, the JU campus belongs to the students and the people at large. Any unilateral decision to cut all those trees identified will not only demonstrate their anti-environmental character, but it will also be an anti-people move, because the people would be deprived of their right to enjoy the green environment.
To finish my letter, I would request the JU authorities to watch the documentary on the environment issues presented by the former US Vice President AL-Gore. He has received the Noble Peace Prize for his contribution to the environment protection movement.
Shame on the JU bosses!
