Leaders of the Chittagong University Central Students’ Union (Chaksu) have demanded the installation of air conditioning in the university’s central library and the establishment of a new library in Chittagong city. The demands were announced at a press conference held in front of the central library on Monday afternoon, led by General Secretary Saeed Bin Habib. Other Chaksu leaders, including library and cafeteria affairs secretary Masum Billah, assistant secretary for female student welfare Jannatul Ferdous Rita, and executive members Sohan and Adnan Sharif, were also present.

In a written statement, Saeed Bin Habib urged that effective steps be taken to install air conditioning in the central library with the approval of the 2026–2027 fiscal budget. He also called for a full-fledged city-based library for students residing in the city and suggested using the Fine Arts Institute as a temporary library until a permanent facility is established.

Masum Billah highlighted several ongoing initiatives to modernize the library, including a separate reading corner, generator installation for uninterrupted power, expanded prayer and study spaces, and extended library hours until 10 p.m.
