College buses

Published January 23, 2017

I APPRECIATE the government’s decision to arrange buses for students of Atta Shad Degree College. But it is unfortunate to mention that the people who are operating them are using these buses for their own purposes. When the government provides facilities, people start exploiting them for their own purposes.

The buses were supposed to facilitate students but they are now being used by the drivers for private businesses.
