KU institute distanced itself from Benazir Bhutto's October 18 attacks investigation
Karachi: The Dr A.Q. Khan Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic
Engineering (KIBGE) has distanced itself from the investigations into the
October 18 attacks on Benazir Bhutto's welcome procession, saying that it had
not processed any of the samples regarding missing persons neither had it lost
any of the sample.
However, a statement issued by the KIBGE on Monday,
clarifying its position on a recent report in this paper, did not refer to the
correspondence, which was cited in the report to establish cases of theft and
movement of chemicals and other items from the institute to "unknown
place."
"The samples of the October 18 case were deposited in KIBGE. None
of the samples were lost from the institute and the samples were handed over to
the concerned police officials on their request," said the
statement.
"None of the samples regarding missing persons were processed
or analyzed at KIBGE," it said, adding that the only analysis done at the KIBGE
in reference to the October 18 case was on the samples of the suspected
bomber. Dawn

Nepotism haunts Karachi University
Karachi: Karachi University (KU), has forced the department's teaching
faculty to launch a movement against the chairperson of Islamic History
department, Prof Dr Nigar Sajjad Zaheer, who has allegedly undermined the
academic activities at the department.
On the first step of the movement,
teachers will go on two-day strike from Wednesday to condemn the unjustified
activities of Prof Nigar at the department; as the higher officials of the KU
are not talking any notice over the grievances of the teachers, it was learnt on Monday, while talking to angry teachers, including Assistant Professor
Sofia Naz, Farzana Jabeen, Muhammad Zubair, Samina Hassnain, Humera Naz and Uzma
Perveen.
They said that they had already forwarded several applications to
the KU Vice Chancellor to aware higher officials of the varsity, Registrar, Dean
Faculty of Arts, Members of Syndicates and Office Bearers of the University
Teachers' Society.
They alleged, "Our head of the department has completely
failed to handle the affairs of the department, as the worse condition of class
rooms is depicting the real face of the her administration. Some teachers are
being favoured beyond the law, while the majority of the teachers are being
ignored in term of fulfilling their genuine demands.
The angry teachers have
demanded the removal of Prof Dr Nigar Sajjad Zaheer from her position and
suggested the KU administration to appoint Prof Dr Shakil Siddiqui as head of
the department to prevent the academic future of the department. The Nation

Rangers rent out part of school's hostel
Hyderabad: Rangers who are using hostel of the historic Noor Mohammad
High School as their lodgings for over two decades and have even rented out its
premises to a private party are not ready to vacate the building nor is Sindh
government interested in asking them to do so.
The law enforcers have
made alterations in the hostel's structure and rented out a room on the ground
floor to a private party who has set up there office of a commercial housing
scheme.
The hostel has 57 rooms, two halls, two superintendent halls,
seven residential rooms, 18 bath rooms, a mosque and two kitchens. Besides being
lodgings for Rangers, the premises of this beautiful and historic edifice house
a canteen at the main gate, a medical store, a soft drinks shop and a public
call office.
"We have obtained it on rent from Rangers," said a man who
gave only Khaid as his name and was sitting at the housing scheme's
office.
The commercial activity has so far gone unnoticed and
correspondence by education officials with high-ups, seeking possession of the
hostel, has yielded no results.
Besides, the management of Civil Hospital
is also trying to get the hostel building for setting up its trauma and kidney
ward. The director general of Rangers had agreed to vacate half of the building
in a meeting chaired by then Chief Secretary Sindh on March 8, 2003 but later
backed out of it and did not respond to reminders sent from time to time by
hospital administration.
On the other hand, education officials have
written endlessly to the high-ups seeking their help in getting back the hostel
but their pleas have so far failed to stir them to action.
The hostel was
inaugurated by Sir Leslie Wilson, then governor of Sindh, and its foundation
stone plaque was laid by Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah, revenue and finance
member of council of the government of Bombay, on Oct 30, 1933.
The Noor
Mohammad High School was established by the then British rulers in 1888 who
named it Hyderabad High School, which was then the only educational institution
of the area. The school was named after Noor Mohammad Lakhair advocate after he
succeeded in acquiring it from the British government in 1924.
In 1972,
the school and hostel were nationalised by the government like other educational
institutions.
The school's building speaks volumes for decades of
official neglect and gradually falls into decay but the governments always
prefer to look the other way.
The schools' headmaster Atta Mohammad
Bozdar has estimated the cost of renovation work at Rs7.515 million. At present,
work on repair of ceiling and rooftop is under way after it developed cracks and
rainwater seeped through it into the classrooms.
More funds will be
needed to ensure quality of renovation and refurbishment work to restore the old
glory of once prestigious institution of the Muslims of subcontinent.
The
school's ground floor and walls need repair and whitewash. Benches, classrooms'
doors and windows have all but broken into pieces. There is only one toilet for
the staff and poor electricity fittings pose a constant danger to students and
teachers alike.
Students are compelled to study amid irritating noise of
vehicles coming from outside as the school is located in the midst of city's
heavy commercial zone.
The water storage tank has become too rusty and
developed too many leakages and water keeps dripping from its innumerable pores.
Of the four water-coolers in the school only two are functioning.
The
school owned 21 shops but they earn the institution only Rs9,765 monthly, which
is in sharp contrast to open market rates. Thanks to headmaster's efforts, the
EDO of education has formed a committee to revise rent agreements. The school
expects to earn enough from the rent to be able to carry out necessary
construction and repair work of the worn-out building. Dawn
