LAHORE, March 20: American educationist Dr Peter Armacost on Thursday morning assumed the charge of FC College principal amidst tight security in and around the college. He replaced Prof Dr Zikriya Butt.

Similarly, Dr Christy Munir took over as vice-principal of the college replacing Akram Chaudhry.

No person, including college faculty members, were allowed to enter the administration block where Prof Butt briefed Dr Armacost about the functioning of the college.

The college campus was giving a deserted look as the security officials deployed there did not allow anybody to move freely in the college. Even the teachers and the staff, who could not produce their identity cards, were not allowed to enter the admn block.

Later, Dr Armacost issued the first notice, asking all heads of the departments to attend a meeting in his office at 10:30am on Friday.

Meanwhile, the protest meeting organized by the Save FC College Committee could attract only a few teachers at college’s P-Block theatre hall.
