Drought Hits Mega Hostel!!!

Well, here the drought is power . Once there was a time last semester when an awareness program started in SASTRA to make the students save power. Today, the once power hungry, Sastrites are now power starving. There are frequent power cuts in the place because of the govt's amendments to save power. Also, it has been announced that every Tuesday power will be shut down in our coll area from 2 to 6 pm. That's a full four hour shut down! Besides this scheduled shutdown, we have many frequent power cuts also. Today, power went off in Mega Hostel for 3 more hours after the scheduled power cut. This happened only in Mega Hostel. Also, wifi becomes unavailable very often these days in Mega Hostel which doesn't have even a single access point in the third floor. Thanks to the combined effect of a power cut and wifi failure in Mega Hostel, the college radio, 7cube was stopped by 10.30. This is an hour before the usual time. Mega hostel has one more problem. Water. There are frequent water supply shortages. So people find it difficult for the doing the daily essentials without water. The worse part of all of these is, there is not even a water cooler in the second and third floor of a hostel that is functioning for the past year. We have been promised water coolers but there is not even a single trace of them. So, the Mega hostel inmates are virtually leading a life in the hostel without power or water or wifi like cave men. Hope the administration does something soon about this.
