A shadow of the past glory. Overgrown with weeds and bushy. Reckless waste disposal. Bad network of roads. The main gate that used to be the gateway to the most beautiful campus is now an eyesore. Different dilapidated and advert banners makes the entrance unclean. First view of the campus is now like a market place. Hope the glory shall be restored 🙏
