HYDERABAD: Student hold demo

Published July 31, 2003

HYDERABAD, July 30: A large number of students of the Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences held a protest demonstration and staged a token hunger strike outside the local press club on Wednesday to protest against mismanagement in the university.

Speaking on the occasion, Jeay Sindh Students’ Federation leaders, Asif Memon, Zulfiqar Zaunr and others complained that out of date laboratory equipment was being used in the university laboratories, there was shortage of chairs in the library and audio-visual library and the university had only a few computers.

They said that the poor students had been denied scholarship and the university had also failed to make any arrangements for extra curricular activities.—Bureau
