CHARSADDA, Oct 5: Two students were injured in a clash between workers of Pakhtunkhwa Students Federation (PkSF) and Islami Jamiat Talaba (IJT) at Government Postgraduate College Charsadda on Friday.

The clash between two student federations erupted when a PkSF student exchanged hot words with the college teacher Prof Farooq Sattar on discipline issue. The IJT workers also interrupted in the matter by taking side of the professor who was stated to be sympathiser of the IJT. The exchange of words infuriated students of both the sides and they started attacking each other. As a result Sangeen Shah, divisional president of PkSF, and his associate Naveed sustained multiple injuries.

Later, the PkSF workers staged a rally against the concerned teacher and IJT. They demanded transfer of the teacher from the college and held the IJT activists responsible for attack on the PkSF workers.

DIGITISED LAB: The UN-Habitat with the support of the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa inaugurated a Geographic Information Systems Laboratory for the digitilisation of land record.

After the floods of 2010 many issues regarding land ownership had surfaced due to the loss of physical demarcations of land.

Many existing hand-made records were damaged or destroyed and could no longer be used as a reference to resolve these issues.

The necessity of digitised land records was recognised by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and under the Pakistan Settlements Flood Recovery Project, funded by the government of Japan, UN-Habitat developed a digitisation software and provided technical and technological assistance to equip the lab.
