State of library

Published September 18, 2019

SINCE August, the Quaid-i-Azam Library has been facing five to six hours of loadshedding every day, while the library is open for 12 hours a day to facilitate students from 8.30am to 9pm.

It is really hard to study in the library in the afternoon with no electricity. It gets very claustrophobic and hot.

Many students wander in Bagh-i-Jinnah where the library is located, wasting their time because there is no electricity. Executive and civil institutions must take notice of this and sort out the electricity issues.
