PESHAWAR, June 22: All Tribal Students Federation on Saturday threatened to observe hunger strike in front of the Governor’s House if the provincial government fails to issue notification for admission of students from Federally Administered Tribal Areas to Khyber Medical College by June 25.

In a press release, the federation’s president, Ijaz Khan, asked the government to issue the notification immediately and said otherwise the affected students would observe a hunger strike to press their demand.
