IT is a matter of satisfaction that a well-furnished and well-stacked Quaid-i-Azam Library is available in Quetta. Many MPhil and PhD scholars, CSS, PCS aspirants and other students study at this library.

The library gets jam-packed and students often do not hesitate to sit on the floor. Because of lack of space, students demand more reading halls. Instead of expansion, the two of the three reading halls are being closed because a bureaucrat is trying to run his academy in the library.

Can’t he run his academy anywhere in the city? Why is a portion of this public library being snatched from students in the name of spreading knowledge?

The PCS examinations are around the corner and a majority of students need a peaceful environment to study at a library. The authorities concerned should take strong action to restore peace to the library.
