Shut down of Landsdowne Building affects student community
Shut down of the century-old Landsdowne Building has not only affected the tenants doing good business since decades, but has also largely affected the student community, as the building was a last stop for used text books.
With admissions to Engineering colleges having been completed 20 days ago, the demand for text books has gone up as there are seven Engineering colleges in the city and the students are eager to procure the text books of this semester and even professional colleges strictly adhere to the academic schedule completing the course in time.
Abudakar Siddiqui of Madina Book House said, “ours being a second hand book stall, a large number of students used to visit our shop to buy and resell the books. Every six months during the new semester Engineering students used to throng shops to purchase the books. Our regular customers are still calling to find out when out book stalls will be reopened.”
Another owner Prashanth of Gayatri Book says, “demand for both new and old books is good here. But now, books are lying idle inside the locked shop and we are helpless. Though recently the district administration allowed us to remove the goods stocked inside our shops, the time given was not sufficient as such most of the books are still struck inside. Those which we could bring out has already been sold."
“We regularly purchase the second hand books at reasonable price here. We always got the book here we sought after just roaming a couple of shops. Now, due to the closure of book stalls we are waiting for the shops to re-open,” says Anirudh a student of NIE College.
The tenants are eagerly waiting when will be the temporary sheds promised by the MCC will be erected. Meantime, this loss of business at Lansdowne building has come as a blessing in disguise for other shops, where some students are heading.
