The Dhaka University unit of the Bangladesh Jatiyatabadi Chhatra Dal has called for ensuring food quality and reducing meal prices for students on campus during the holy month of Ramadan. The demand was made through a press release issued on Wednesday, February 18, 2026. The organization emphasized that Ramadan, a month of self-restraint and spiritual purification, holds deep cultural and religious significance for Bangladeshis and Muslims worldwide.

According to the statement, students face recurring difficulties every Ramadan due to poor food quality and inflated prices in residential hall canteens and campus eateries. The group noted that financially disadvantaged students are particularly affected by these conditions. It urged the university administration to take special measures to address the issue.

The Chhatra Dal demanded that the university set fixed price limits for sehri and iftar meals, conduct regular monitoring of food quality, and strengthen administrative oversight of canteens. The unit’s president Ganesh Chandra Roy Sahas and general secretary Nahiduzzaman Shipon extended greetings to all students and called on the administration to ensure affordable, quality food during Ramadan.
