HYDERABAD, Dec 29: The Sindh University authorities have announced that semester examination will be held as per schedule from Tuesday and point buses for teachers, students and employees will ply on fixed routes.

This was decided after a meeting with Pakistan People’s Party leaders and university officials at the office of university registrar on Monday in the backdrop of SPSF call for examination boycott.

The meeting was attended by the president of the Sindh People’s Youth and member of Sindh PPP executive committee, Aajiz Dhamrah, university registrar Mohammad Saleh Rajar, Sindh University union council nazim Lala Ayaz Pathan, Professor Agha Riaz Hassan, Ahmed Ali Abbasi and representatives of the SPSF, Sindh University chapter.

Mr Dhamrah expressed concern over the boycott call by the Sindh People’s Students Federation which had disturbed the paper of final year students on Monday as more than 19,000 students could not appear in the examination and teachers and employees could not reach the campus.

After an assurance of the PPP leaders, the university administration decided to hold semester examination of the morning and evening shifts from Tuesday.The university authorities also announced that the university’s point buses for the students, teachers and employees would ply from already fixed routs from Hyderabad, Latifabad, Qasimabad, Kotri and other areas.

Sources in the university told Dawn that the SPSF had forced the boycott of Monday’s paper in protest against the university authorities for refusing to provide them two buses to take them to Larkana to attend the first death anniversary of Ms Benazir Bhutto.
