No water, no restrooms: Distance education students in a fix
Most of the time the restrooms are either locked or remains devoid of water.
According to students, when classes take place from 9 am to 6 pm, it becomes very difficult to not use the restrooms for so long.
A student requesting anonymity said that most of the time, about 60 per cent of the class hours, the restrooms remain closed.
“In all the three floors, most of the time the restrooms for ladies and gents will remain closed.
Many of us don’t use the restrooms the whole day,” she said, adding that on asking for water, the University said that since there is scarcity, they can’t provide much water.
Another student said that she doesn’t use the restroom at all.
“My class is on the third floor.
They remain closed on all the floors,” she said, adding that there are around five pregnant women studying distance education.
For pregnant women, it is really difficult to rush and use the bathroom.
We have to stand in the queue to use the restrooms in that building,” said a student, requesting anonymity, adding that of all the restrooms, only the one on the ground floor will remain open.
