Medical students protest

Published February 1, 2006

FAISALABAD, Jan 31: Students of a private medical college held a demonstration and blocked traffic in protest against the failure of the college’s management to get them enrolled with the University of Health Sciences.

Carrying banners and placards against the college administration, the protesting students marched through various city roads.

They said the college management had received over Rs1 million from each student as tuition and admission fee during the last couple of years, but now it had refused to arrange their examinations with the UHS.

They urged the governor and the chief minister to take stock of the situation.
