PESHAWAR University is one of the prestigious institutes of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, but it is facing troubles, especially insanitation.

A university is a place to groom students. It should be neat and clean in order to provide a healthy environment to students and staff. Unfortunately, at the Peshawar University campus one can see piles of solid waste.

For example, the area near the hockey ground behind hostel two and Madina Market has filth all around, which is a breeding ground for pests and bugs. This results in health issues for students and the staff.

The department concerned should make arranegments for cleaning up the university.
