LARKANA: First-year students of the Chandka Medical College (CMC) became disruptive on Tuesday for allegedly preventing them from using unfair means in their anatomy examination.

After completing the theory paper of Anatomy-I, students shattered the glass of doors of the administration block, anatomy department, dissection hall, college inspector’s room, lecture hall and smashed the door of the principal’s office.

The principal has lodged an FIR with the Rehmatpur police station against more than 30 students, but no arrest had been made till the filing of this report.

CMC Principal Prof Sher Muhammed Shaikh told Dawn that apparently the students reaction was over their strict monitoring during the exam. The Rangers and police were called in to stop the students from creating further chaos, he said.

These students accompanied the students of another batch and created disorder at the venue where a Karachi-Larkana symposium on laparoscopic urology was in progress, he said. “I tried to stop them, but unfortunately some students sneaked into the symposium hall from the behind.”

Sources privy to the incident said the students also broke benches in the lecture hall during the symposium but the principal said no such thing happened.

City ASP Tauqeer along with a heavy contingent of police arrived at the scene and pacified the situation, said Prof Riaz Shaikh, head of the department of pharmacology.
