Governor urged to take notice

The students of the University of Peshawar and their parents on Wednesday deplored undue closure of University of Peshawar (UoP) from the last three weeks and urged the Governor and chancellor of the university to take notice of the issue. They said that a strike by teachers and other faculty of the univer-sity in the wake of the killing of a security supervi-sor followed by unplanned spring vacations had wasted a lot of their time.

They said that approximately 15,000 students were enrolled with the UoP and had paid millions of ru-pees under the heads of tuition fees, admission, examination, hostels charges, transport, security and others but still their precious time was being wasted by the university administration on one pretext or the other.

Danial Aziz, a student of the varsity said the protesting faculty had warned to prolong their strike till Eid if their demands were not met, adding that in strife between university administration and teaching faculty, the students were suffering, and no authority was ready to realise that the precious time and semester of students would be wasted if the strike continues.

Different students’ unions had also staged a camp at the main gate of the university and blocked it for all kinds of traffic for the early reopening of the univer-sity and revival of educational activities. They urged the Governor and Chancellor UoP Ghulam Ali to take notice of the strike and issue necessary meas-ures to ensure resumption of the educational activi-ties.—APP
