LARKANA, Oct 31: The teaching staff of the Government Degree College, Ratodero, took out a procession in the town on Friday to protest against police failure in arresting the students who had recently attacked the principal and a lecturer of the college.

Principal Professor Mumtaz Solangi and Sindh Professors and Lecturers Association leader Malhar Sindhi led the procession which began from the college and ended at the local press club. The participants were raising slogans against the indifferent attitude of the Ratodero police.
